Working on my first WPF/WCF app for a customer...

This is the first app that I get to work on for a customer that uses WPF and WCF. I'm finding the XML to be a bit cumbersome. Although the tools do help you get things right with WPF, I think the WCF tools are complicated.

I believe the next steps for these tools should be some updated tools for network monitoring, client and server certificate management, and some authentication test tools. It seems like every time I build a WCF app, I get stuck trying to figure out why the connection isn't authenticating properly...eh, probably lack of experience.

Anyways, What I've found in addition to it is an API for DirectShow for .NET. This API enables my .NET app to get video from the computer's camera and capture an image.

Ahh, after quite a few months on a tough project, It's great to write a technical blog again...
