WCF Test Client

While developing a WCF service, I had to write a client for it as well to debug/test it. I recently found out that Visual Studio tools include a WCF test client. It is a GUI tool that enables users to test their WCF service by passing parameters to it and viewing the response. It (WcfTestClient.exe) is located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\

I came across a really nice article on C# constructors. The article describes very useful concepts using simple and easy to understand code samples.

I think it is not difficult to write code but to write code that is elegant and efficient is an art. Proficiency in this art is acquired only over time.

How to remove namespace attribute from XML root element using XSLT?

There are occasions when we need to remove the namespace attribute from the XML root element before sending it to the receiving application. This can be done using XSL transform as shown below. If you are already doing an XSL transform just include the following code in that XSLT.

version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" />

match="*">

name="{local-name()}">

select="@* | node()"/>
