How can i implement Swagger for WCF Rest service ?
I have referred following two solutions :
swaggerwcf: [1]: https://github.com/abelsilva/swaggerwcf
Swaggeratr: [2]: https://github.com/superstator/Swaggeratr
But , not able to find the way to achieve this.
If there is any other way. please suggest.

OK, I've searched the Internet for the answer to this and haven't found anything... maybe I'm missing the obvious here or just asking the wrong question, but...
How do you call a WF WCF Workflow just by it's URL with parameters? I have a Workflow xmlx, we'll call it DeepThought.xamlx, an operation named TheQuestion and I need to pass the parameter Answer = 42 to it.
I've tried http://localhost:8042/DeepThought.xamlx/TheQuestion?Answer=42 and just about everything else I can think of. I've scoured the Internet and even the wsdl but am either just flat out missing the answer or simply not seeing it.
I assume it's possible, otherwise, what's the point? Clues appreciated.
At least out-of-the-box this is not possible. The standard Receive
activity uses SOAP. I'm sure it's possible to implement a custom Receive but I guess it would be a non-trivial amount of work.
You can also take a look a the following questions. They are REST-related but still may give you some options (a community RESTful endpoint is being mentioned, no idea of its current state though):
RESTful Workflow Service Endpoints in WF4 / WCF
WCF Workflow Service REST interface
I ended up implementing the workflow as a regular activity (non service) inside WCF. This gave me the ability to use their parameters and pass them to the workflow directly. In the end, not too difficult to implement.
I have 3rd party wcf soap service which needs to-be consume so i have discovered a way to generate code in memory and invoke the service with simple input arguments. I would like to do the same with complex arguments can anyone please help me as to how i can achieve this. Or can anyone please point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance,

May be you can use output of datasvcutil at runtime with dynamic code generation/reflection.

I have a simple scenario where i want to output only json to the user.Now should i use a simple httphandler, call it from jquery and get the json or create a WCf service?
I want to use WCf service but don't see any advantage, maybe someone can point few of them and scenarios.
Anything would be suffice. Your thoughts are in correct direction, why to create a wcf service and increase the overload(maintaince, deployment etc).
If you are using Ajax, Look in to PageMethods, which would even free you from creating a separate HTTPHandler and you could call your code behind methods directly in your javascript.
I am assuming you are using asp.net.
I am going develop a WPF windows based application. I want to work with Entity Framework Self Tracking Entities and WCF. I was wondering if using Json is possible/recommended? If yes, please assist me; is there any tutorial that can help?
You can use the DataContractJsonSerializer to serialize the messages. You will have to use a REST based service (WebHttpBinding) as SOAP mandates XML as the message payload.
You can tell WCF to use the DatcontractJsonSerializer on the service side by settings in the WebGet and WebInvoke attributes but on the client side you will have to manually use this serializer as REST doesn;t have a metadata standard and therefore you have to create the requests and manage responses in a more manual fashion
Here is a reasonable guide to using Json and REST support in WCF
However, what is your driver to using Json? WCF is much more geared to SOAP based interaction currently (although the WCF 4.5 WebApi is going to address that to quite a degree). As your client is WPF you don't seem to gain alot from using Json
We have a Requirement of Consuming the WCf Services which is hosted in IIS like http://localhost/someservice.svc.
We would like to consume that Service via java script and bind my sample data controls called grid view on client side itself.
I think this can be done by Serializing and deserialzing to JSON and consume the data source and bind the grid controls.

I would like to Achieve my func like the above link.
Can you pls guide me to achieve this Tasks.
Thanks

Balaji,
Yes, you can definitely enable your WCF service (whether within IIS or not) to use JSON.
You do need to make one choice: do you want to use that service from the ASP .NET AJAX framework, or do you want to create a more general solution that is not tied down to that framework's usage within the browser?
If it's the former, use WebScriptEnablingBehavior. If it's the latter, use WebHttpBehavior.
For either scenario, detailed instructions are available in the following two MSDN sections:
AJAX Integration and JSON Support
WCF Web Http Programming Model
