Exception Handling Proxy Generator

The WCFProxyGenerator tool on CodePlex has been updated, which is a community contributed tool that generates proxy classes that help manage the lifetimes of the proxy objects. As you might guess from the name the primary way that the proxy class helps manage object lifetimes is to deal with factories and proxies that have encountered a communication exception.

You can also get two videos that go along with the tool and help explain proxy management:

• Managing Proxy Lifetime
• Exception Handling WCF Proxy

It looks like this is still a work in progress so the code has changed somewhat since the videos were made. Since these are generated classes however, you do get a chance to look at and play with any part of it you’d like.

  You should have a serious look at the Service Model Client API in the Software is Hardwork Library: http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?ProjectName=SoftwareIsHardwork SoftwareIsHardwork.ServiceModelClient is a thread-safe, scalable, and functional replacement for the WCF clients ClientBase1 and/or ChannelFactory1. Take a look at the companion presentation/slide deck/podcast: http://blog.softwareishardwork.com/2009/05/code-camp-talk-wcf-client-side-objects.html
