    <p>I have a WCF service hosted within a Windows service. There is s method in the WCF service that will raise an event that the Windows service subscribes to. When the event is raised and the Windows service catches it, the Windows service calls another WCF method to send a message to all connected clients. For some reason when I have all these these happen in this sequence an error is thrown:</p> <pre><code>This request operation sent to http://localhost:8731/Design_Time_Addresses/WCF/WCFService/ did not receive a reply within the configured timeout (00:00:29.9939996).... </code></pre> <p>Here is the relevant code from teh WCF service:</p> <pre><code>public event EventHandler&lt;CustomEventArgs&gt; CustomEvent; private static readonly List&lt;IMessageCallback&gt; subscribers = new List&lt;IMessageCallback&gt;(); public void SendMessageToClients(string msgType, string message) { subscribers.ForEach(delegate(IMessageCallback callback) { if (((ICommunicationObject)callback).State == CommunicationState.Opened) { callback.OnMessageReceived(msgType, message, DateTime.Now); } else { subscribers.Remove(callback); } }); } public bool messageHost() { try { if (CustomEvent != null) CustomEvent(null, new CustomEventArgs()); return true; } catch { return false; } } </code></pre> <p>And the Code from the Windows service:</p> <pre><code>wcfService = new WCF.WCFService(); sHost = new ServiceHost(wcfService); wcfService.CustomEvent += new EventHandler&lt;WCF.CustomEventArgs&gt;(wcfService_CustomEvent); sHost.Open(); private void wcfService_CustomEvent(object source, WCF.CustomEventArgs e) { wcfService.SendMessageToClients("log", "CLient connected!!"); osae.AddToLog("client message"); //just writes to a log file } </code></pre> <p>And the client just calls this:</p> <pre><code>wcfObj.messageHost(); </code></pre> <p>Here is the client config:</p> <pre><code> &lt;system.serviceModel&gt; &lt;bindings&gt; &lt;wsDualHttpBinding&gt; &lt;binding name="WSDualHttpBinding_IWCFService" closeTimeout="00:00:10" openTimeout="00:00:10" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:00:30" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" transactionFlow="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard" maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536" messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" useDefaultWebProxy="true"&gt; &lt;readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384" maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" /&gt; &lt;reliableSession ordered="true" inactivityTimeout="00:10:00" /&gt; &lt;security mode="Message"&gt; &lt;message clientCredentialType="Windows" negotiateServiceCredential="true" algorithmSuite="Default" /&gt; &lt;/security&gt; &lt;/binding&gt; &lt;/wsDualHttpBinding&gt; &lt;/bindings&gt; &lt;client&gt; &lt;endpoint address="http://localhost:8731/Design_Time_Addresses/WCF/WCFService/" binding="wsDualHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="WSDualHttpBinding_IWCFService" contract="WCFService.IWCFService" name="WSDualHttpBinding_IWCFService"&gt; &lt;identity&gt; &lt;dns value="localhost" /&gt; &lt;/identity&gt; &lt;/endpoint&gt; &lt;/client&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p>And the service config:</p> <pre><code>&lt;system.serviceModel&gt; &lt;services&gt; &lt;service name="WCF.WCFService" behaviorConfiguration="WCFBehavior"&gt; &lt;endpoint address="" binding="wsDualHttpBinding" contract="WCF.IWCFService"&gt; &lt;identity&gt; &lt;dns value="localhost" /&gt; &lt;/identity&gt; &lt;/endpoint&gt; &lt;endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="" contract="IMetadataExchange"/&gt; &lt;host&gt; &lt;baseAddresses&gt; &lt;add baseAddress="http://localhost:8731/Design_Time_Addresses/WCF/WCFService/" /&gt; &lt;/baseAddresses&gt; &lt;/host&gt; &lt;/service&gt; &lt;/services&gt; &lt;behaviors&gt; &lt;serviceBehaviors&gt; &lt;behavior name="WCFBehavior"&gt; &lt;serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/&gt; &lt;serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" /&gt; &lt;/behavior&gt; &lt;/serviceBehaviors&gt; &lt;/behaviors&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p>If I remove the SendMessageToClients call from the event in the Windows service it works and just logs the 'client message' as expected. Also, when the error is thrown about the timeout I can click continue and the the client continues to run and it received the message from the host. Why is the strange behavior happening?</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Marc led me to search in the right place: <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WCF/WCF_Duplex_UI_Threads.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WCF/WCF_Duplex_UI_Threads.aspx</a></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
