• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Logging WCF Messages to a Database

  I’d like to log WCF messages to a database instead of logging them to disk. What’s the best practice for extending WCF to log messages to a database I’m most interested in logging messages that contain data (e.g. AddPerson and AddPersonResponse) and less interested in messages that are required to setup WS-* (e.g. http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/02/trust/RST/Issue). Ideally, I’d like to extend the WCF logging functionality to log to a database. I’ve read the following post that suggests that you can log a message through the use of a custom behavior. However, I’d rather extend the existing message logging functionality so t ...Show All
