Why normal .NET exception handling doesn't work in WCF?

Errors and exceptions are part of our programming life and WCF is no different. So, when we get errors in WCF, we would like to propagate those errors to our WCF client so that they can accordingly take actions. In order to demonstrate this, let’s go through the code of a simple service: public int Add(int number1, int number2) { return number1 + number2; } public double Divide(int number1, int number2) { return number1 / number2; } Both the above methods will perform some calculation and return the result to the client. Let’s say, now for some reason someone sent 2 nd parameter of Divide method as 0.  What will happen? Definitely code will throw an error or say DivideByZero exception. Isn’t it? Know how to handle this error? Most of the developers will simply decorate Divide method with Try-catch block and throw the exception, similar to our normal .NET exception handling mechanism as shown in be

Consuming Services in ASP.NET Core MVC View

In continuation to my previous post entitled 'Consuming Services in ASP.NET Core Controller' on injecting services in controller, this time I'm writing on how to inject services directly in MVC View. In order to achieve this, a new keyword @inject is used. Here I'm not writing entire code again as it can be referred from my previous article. Let's register the service in ConfigureServices method as: public void ConfigureServices( IServiceCollection services) { ... ... services.AddTransient<IGUIDService,GUIDService>(); } Next is to inject service inside a View as: @inject IGUIDService guidService Now service is injected and available for use. Let's quickly use it: @ using CustomTagHelper.Services; @ inject IGUIDService guidService <p>@guidService.GenerateGUID()</p> Run your application and you will be able to see the required output as: Hope you enjoyed learnin

Consuming Services in ASP.NET Core MVC Controller

Another interesting feature of ASP.NET Core is service consumption using Dependency Injection. I already provided the overview of Dependency Injection in my earlier articles. Moving further, in this article we will see how one can inject and consume services to controller using dependency injection. In ASP.NET, you can access services at any stage of your HTTP pipeline through dependency injection. By default, it provides Constructor injection, but it can easily be replaced by any other container of your choice. Before moving ahead, one point is very important to understand and that is lifetime of services. ASP.NET Core allows you to configure four different lifetimes for your services. Transient - Created on every request Scoped - Created once per request Singleton - Created first time when they are requested Instance - Created in ConfigureServices method and behaves like a Singleton To understand the service consumption in easier way, we will create a sample applica
