Preparing for WCF exam: TS: 70-503

Posted on December 16, 2007. Filed under: .NET |

I participated in the beta exam – .NET Framework 3.5 – Windows Communication Fouindation [071-503].

Here are some suggestions for the exam -

• Focus on the core of WCF – ABC. That means Address-Binding-Contract. See several articles from MSDN – Service Station. e.g. http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/07/07/ServiceStation/

• Learn in depth of WCF-Binding. Different types of Binding – their usages scenario, different features included in each binding. [BasicHttpBinding, WSHttpBinding, NetTcpBinging etc.]

• How to configure ABC in the XML configuration file – in depth. ServiceContract, OperationContract, ServiceBehavior, CallBackContract, AsyncPattern etc.,

• Reliable session, Instance mode, multi-thread, Thread safety in WCF Service.

• Security – Authentication/Authorization, clientCredentialType, Transport/Message security in both client & service.

• Callback & Asynchronous operation.

• Adding custom behavior on both client/service programmatically / Configuration file

• Creating client proxy class and adding different types of behavior in it – Transaction, Callback, Session, Security, MessageHeader etc.

• Serialization – DataContract/XmlSerializerFormat. DataContract versioning

• ServiceHost, SvcUtil.exe

• Metadata publishing – WSDL, Ws-Policy, MEX

• Debugging, Instrumentation, message Tracing in WCF Service

• Interoperability with ASMX
