Joyce Meyer's Meetings was really a true blessing. There was 3 days of morning conference and 4 days evening meetings. The morning conference was truely amazing as various great preachers had preached. They were 1. Joyce Meyer 2. Tommy Barnett 3. Darlene Zschech 4. Paul Thangiah 5. Mohan and few more.. There was amazing worship from Delirious and HillSong . As we worshipped there was a anointing of god flowing in the place. I feel great to have been there. Cheers!!!

When we are using Fault Contracts, We would be having in the Catch block as catch (Exception ex) { MySampleFault fault = new MySampleFault(); fault.Reason = "Error Message is " + ex.Message.ToString(); throw new FaultException< MySampleFault >(fault); } But at the throw, an error is displayed "The creator of this fault did not specify a reason". On checking various options, the error goes only when you rewrite it as throw new FaultException< MySampleFault >(fault, new FaultReason(ex.Message.ToString())); Cheers!!!

I was trying to create a proxy for a WCF console application, but whenever i gave this command svcutil http://localhost/servicename I used to get an error and the proxy was not getting created . The i browsed the url and found that it was not enabled. So i had to add the "behaviors' node to the web.config of the host console application as Once this was done and also added the attribute "behaviorConfiguration="mybehaviors"" to the service node . Bingo the proxy was generated .. Cheers!!!

The svcutil utility is a one used to create the proxy for a WCF service svcutil url more on svcutil can be seen at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa347733.aspx Cheers!!!

While working on WCF application, i encountered an error but could not see the message . I was only getting this message " The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error. For more information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults (either from ServiceBehaviorAttribute or from the configuration behavior) on the server in order to send the exception information back to the client, or turn on tracing as per the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 SDK documentation and inspect the server trace logs." To enable to see the error , go to the web.config and set the includeExceptionDetailInFaults to true . Cheers!!!

I was getting this error when running my WCF application "This configuration section cannot be used at this path. This happens when the section is locked at a parent level. Locking is either by default (overrideModeDefault="Deny"), or set explicitly by a location tag with overrideMode="Deny" or the legacy allowOverride="false"." Then i searched in google and found this post http://forums.asp.net/t/1220987.aspx . This was helpful. But even i gave the allow permission it did not work. Then i did a aspnet_regiis -u and the aspnet_regiis -i . Bingo, it worked.. Cheers!!!
