Since I installed Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2, I’m no investigating all the new features of .NET 4.0. I did a short video on the new named and optional parameters. The quality of the video is not fantastic, sorry for that. If you got any tips on proper encoding and better places where I can host the videos. Please let me know.
Hopefully you’ll like it.
A new year is just around the corner and it’s also time to start working with Visual Studio 2010, Team Foundation Server 2010 and .NET4.0. It’s packed full with new and cool features. Maybe I’ll even do some posts on these new features.
But how can you get started? Well that’s not too difficult. Microsoft has given us a lot of new VPC images for Christmas. Check out the list

I wanted to track which IP addresses were sending requests to my WCF service. So I did some investigation and apparently it’s not so hard to retrieve this data. The RemoteEndpointMessageProperty class makes the client IP address and port number associated with the remote endpoint from which a message was sent available. Underneath is a snippet of code that will show how it works.
1: public string TrackIP()
2: {
3: OperationContext oc = OperationContext.Current;
4: MessageProperties mp = oc.IncomingMessageProperties;
5: RemoteEndpointMessageProperty remp = mp[RemoteEndpointMessageProperty.Name] as RemoteEndpointMessageProperty;
6:
7: return string.Format("Request sent from {0} and port is {1}", remp.Address, remp.Port);
8: }
