A WCF Project explaining ASP.NET MVC and WCF best Practices using N-Layered Architecture. Here is the brief summary of every Project in the Solution Repository.
A WCF Class Library Project Containing All the Service Interfaces and their respective Implementations. In Addition, this Project uses Automapper to Map Database Entities to Data Transfer Objects and Vise Versa. Therefore, this project also uses Autofac.Wcf for Automapper Constructor Injection in Service Classess.
Referenced Projects: WebClientContracts, Persistence.
This is the Data Access Layer using Linq to SQL as a Micro-ORM. This is abstracted through a Generic Repository using Unit of Work Pattern for Efficient Context Memory Management.
A Project for Holding Data Transfer Object Classess. Moreover, this project uses Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Validation for Validation of DTOs used for WCF Service Calls. This project acts as a bridge between BusinessServices and WebUIClient Projects.
A WCF Services Host Project. It uses Autofac.WCF.Integration to inject Required Parameters in Services and to Register Service Interfaces with their Respective Implementations. As this Project uses Global.asax to Register Autofac Container at Application_Start Event, Hence IIS is the best platform to Publish this project to. Moreover, each service has Different EndPoints for SOAP and REST (Both JSON and XML).
#WebUIClient:
An ASP.NET MVC 5 Client for Consuming Web Services hosted on IIS. It also uses Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Validation to handle Exceptions that can occur on Validation Fault of a DTO which is being transferred to / from WCF Services.
Referenced Project: WebClientContracts.
The Solution Contains two Separate Projects for testing WebUIClient and BusinessServices Projects Individually.
The Published solution of WCF Services ready for hosting.
