However, I did find some interesting things I thought I should blog about. I found out that the bug isn't in the actual serialization ...

There are 3 services in our project, one business service, one process service and one front end. We use WCF to communicate between these services. We are using basicHttpBinding and we have a central ...

As I'm new here on the Info Support blogs I thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself a bit. My name is Jonathan Mezach and I have been officially working here at Info Support since the 1st of august 2006, so I'm here now for a little more than a year.
