Windows Communication Foundation

I recorded an hour and a half presentation on Windows Communication Foundation yesterday that you can view on YouTube here. The video is recorded in 1920×1080, and is uploaded at that quality. The presentation covers everything from what WCF is, to creating your first service and client, as well as a few other advanced subjects.

    System.InvalidOperationException: The contract name ‘RoutingService.IConnectionStringService’ could not be found in the list of contracts implemented by the service ‘StoredConnectionStringService’.
