Details

WCF Architect is new way of creating WCF Web Services. Instead of spending hours typing out boring WCF code and running batch scripts to handle your builds, WCF Architect allows you to enter in the basic information about your service and click a button. The build process handles everything after that, it will generate the necessary code, compile it into an assembly, generate the client proxies, build the client proxies, and output it all the folders you specify. Just one click.

WCF Architect will also generate ServiceHosts and their accompanying bindings. These are completely optional and do not affect your Services, but they can be a real time-saver as WCF Architect will make sure that both the Server and Client bindings match perfectly, saving you from a host of deployment headaches. WCF Architect can even generate Data Contract classes that support WPF DependencyObjects. It’s all designed to make your life easier.

We strongly believe in “dog-fooding” and we use all our products internally before we release them to the public. In fact, we built WCF Architect because we spend a large amount of our time developing WCF services and wondered if there was a tool that would reduce the time we spent building our WCF services. After scouring the internet, and not finding anything that did what we needed, we decided to build our own tool and share it with the rest of the world.

When we started using WCF Architect internally we discovered that a task that previously took eight hours, now take two. Instead of worrying about getting our services right before we wrote any useful code, we were able to build working code in days. If we needed to make a small change to our services, WCF Architect could handle that in a seamless fashion. We even found that we were able to write code first and WCF Architect could seamlessly integrate with our existing code.
