For example, if the value is 0.2, the activities will start at a 0.2 seconds interval. The reason you’d want to use this setting is that on some […]
WCF 4 now has a built-in way for routing WCF service calls, the System.ServiceModel.Routing.RoutingService, found in System.ServiceModel.Routing.dll. There are several reasons you may want to use routing, for example exposing just a single endpoint even though you have several services or routing messages throught multiple routers within a system. The routing is done […]
