Hi Paul can you please tell me about the setting needs to be done for windows8 developer preview with vs2011

I am using winows7 os with in that VM ware + Windows8 Developer preview + VS2011

When I try to open the application I got the error "Failed to access IIS metabase"

I solved this error by added new web project.

But when ran the application it runs with out error, but it fails to connect the server and it is not hitting any break points.

Can you please help me on this.

I don't have any sample code for this exact scenario, but the code for the Push Frenzy game I demoed in my build talk is pretty close to doing this. The project code is here:
https://github.com/paulbatum/PushFrenzy

Specifically, have a look at the code in the WebSocketServiceHostFactory:
https://github.com/paulbatum/PushFrenzy/blob/master/PushFrenzy.Web/WebSocketServiceHostFactory.cs

You can use the same code to create a WebSocketHost in your console app and then open it like you would with a normal WCF service.

Hope this helps!

Is a way or reference for a web page written in HTML5 and use HTML5 WebSokcet (written in JAvaScript) to talk to WCF service (Console Application) using HTTP protocol?

Thx

Thanks for the nice post, Paul - Windows 8 looks really good.

It's always a challenge when a new technology is constrained by the latest and greatest O/S and browsers.
Like many HTML5 capabilities, there are "polyfills" available for WebSockets as well. You, as a developer can code against the WebSocket APIs, but when the app is accessed from older browsers where native WebSocket support is not available, WebSocket emulation kicks in. WebSocket servers, like Kaazing, provide extremely efficient emulation techniques out there, working very well in IE8, IE7, even IE6.
If interested in further details, you can read my post on the topic: http://blog.kaazing.com/?p=700

Have you looked for the pdb files and confirmed that they are not there? In the case of my game they should be in the pushfrenzy.web\bin folder.

It sounds like you have all the right settings. What setup are you using? Are you using the Win8 client sku or server sku?

Hi, I am having trouble getting .pdb files to generate. I can run the solution fine but want to be able to debug. I have it in debug mode, with no Optimize code options checked in Build tabs on Project Properties, as well as Debug Info set to full. Any ideas?

2011-10-25T05:23:05.610+11:00

You should find them to be compatible (but I haven't tried it myself) since they both use sec-websocket-version: 8 as part of the handshake. However I would caution you:

- the HTML5 labs components are prototypes and have not been hardened for performance and security.

- there is no guarantee that the prototypes will continue to be updated. You may find that the final version of IIS 8 implements a more recent version of the protocol than the HTML5 labs prototype.

2011-10-25T05:09:21.349+11:00

Hi,

I am thinking of building a Silverlight websocket app against IIS 8. If I have IIS 8 exposes the websocket endpoint at TCP 4502. Would the Microsoft.ServiceModel.WebSockets.Silverlight.dll downloaded from HTML 5 lab work for the client side? Any document about this client component? Is there an update version of this dll?

2011-10-25T04:59:06.801+11:00

I believe Google just updated Chrome to use the very latest protocol version and you might be running into an incompatibility. You can double check this by using the f12 tools in chrome. Inspect the headers on the WebSocket handshake - if sec-websocket-version is 13 (rather than 8) then that would explain it.

I suggest you try it from your remote Win7 machine with Firefox 7. Let me know if you're still having issues!

The samples work fine with IIS 8 on Windows Server 8, but I can't get socket connection from a Chrome 16+ browser running on a remote Windows 7 machine. What need to be changed to conduct a LAN test on the echo sample?

2011-10-10T19:22:15.675+11:00

You can use WebSockets in IIS 8.0 as my samples demonstrate, but it won't work in earlier versions of IIS.
