Throttling WCF

I found some really great articles on configuring throttling for WCF Services

From

I was looking up resources via Google on the entire concept of throttling in WCF. There are some very good pages if you use Google; sadly, MSDN is most definitely not on the list as it is practically useless for anything except class definitions. I decided to try to put into one document an overview of how throttling works, along with some sample projects to help get your head around it.


WCF Performance Tuning

 WCF is a programming platform that allows us to build, configure and deploy the network distributed services. Basically WCF works on a Service oriented concept. There are some points that can help us to improve the performance of WCF.



Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) includes a large set of performance counters to help you gauge your application's performance.


WCF throttling provides some properties that you can use to limit how many instances or sessions are created at the application level. Performance of the WCF service can be improved by creating proper instance.
Attribute Description
maxConcurrentCalls Limits the total number of calls that can currently be in progress across all service instances. The default is 16.
maxConcurrentInstances The number of InstanceContext objects that execute at one time across a ServiceHost. The default is Int32.MaxValue.
maxConcurrentSessions A positive integer that limits the number of sessions a ServiceHost object can accept. The default is 10.
Service Throttling can be configured either Adminstractive or Programatically

A C1 Visual Style aware Message Box - Our ComponentOne

Here ware two artcles about how to use the component one Message Box control for Silverlight.  The message box the comes with Silverlight is really limiting. It only allows users to send "OK" and "Cancel" as responses. the Component One version gives a lot more options but the problem is it does not return any values so instead you have to do the following:




C1MessageBox.Show("Do you want to delete?", "The question", C1MessageBoxButton.YesNoCancel, C1MessageBoxIcon.Question,
                new System.Action<MessageBoxResult>((result) =>
                {
                    switch (result)
                    {
                        case MessageBoxResult.Yes:
                            MessageBox.Show("You Pressed Yes");
                            break;
                        case MessageBoxResult.No:
                            MessageBox.Show("You Pressed No");
                            break;
                        case MessageBoxResult.Cancel:
                            MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to cancel");
                            break;
                    }
                }));

This is a great article regarding how WCF web services can be better optimized when running on IIS. I have been running into this problem when two or more users are trying to use my web service at the same time.  I will conduct a few more tests but I think this will solve the problem
