.NET Framework - Serilization of DateTime in WCF

I have business entity objects that I send out via a WCF service. Most of
these objects have DateTime properties. We store all of these values in our
database as PST but we have customers in all the time zones in North America.

The issue is that no time zone offset is being serilized along with the date
and time when it goes across the wire. I even set the DateTime Kind to
LocalTime or Utc and it still does not make a difference.

Any suggestions? Thanks.
David

Well, it looks like you are going to have to do the offset on the client
side.

Sevizio WCF e caching .NET Framework Ciao a tutti, ho un servizio WCF (httpBinding) che viene chiamato con una certa frequenza da diversi client. Il servizio legge dati da un database e li ritorna al chiamante. E' possibile implementare una cache lato servizio in modo che tempo (configurabile) restituisca, a parità di richiesta, la stessa risposta? Grazie, J.

accessi contemporanei WCF o variabile in cache ASP.NET? .NET Framework Ciao a tutti! la mia applicazione WCF / ASP.NET manifesta un problema piuttosto grave (?? la prima applicazione che faccio di questo tipo). Una decina di magazzinieri accedono pi?? o meno contemporaneamente al database access, consultano e modificano le proposte d'ordine a loro indirizzate. Quando ci sono pi occhi la proposta di un altro magazziniere. L'applicazione ?? costiuita da 2 parti: un service WCF ospitato su IIS in un computer interno alla rete aziendale con Vista Business com s una variabile memorizzata nella cache, pu?? essere che questa variabile venga sovrascritta. Oppure il service WCF quando ci sono pi?? accessi contemporanei impazzisce e trasmette una proposta al posto di un collection di dati con la proposta Dim p As Pro = TPclient.TrasmettiPro(VNomePro) LATO SERVICE WCF ' prelevo i dati dal database access Public Function TrasmettiPro(ByVal sPro As String) As Pro _ Implements ITPro.TrasmettiPro Dim Function .NET Framework - Italian Discussions OleDbDataReader (1) OleDbConnection (1) OleDbCommand (1) IsDBNull (1) Vista (1) DateTime (1) ASP.NET (1) IIS (1) In mancanza di una soluzione certa, per ora ho

possible to host a web service on compact framework 3.5 ? I want to use WCF service but the class ServiceHost is not present into compact framework 3.5.

I do not think that .NET CF was intentionally crippled, but certainly e. G. instead of reducing the available timer services to one, we have a crippled DateTime.Now which only goes to second resolution, and an Environment.TickCount, and have to sync to have it, but that does not mean that every application needs it. Point #2 (DateTime.Now), I think is because your target device (hardware), does not return anything in the

Or save it in Application way. . . in an enterprise setup, you'd probably want to look at a session-state database, probably keyed by a guid held as a header on the request. If you want something simpler (but less scale), then WCF can handle a lot of this for you in-memory (on a single machine - not
