Trouble deploying and testing modified WCF Guidance Package

Hi all,

I have been busy modifying the existing asmx and wcf guidance packages to alter the code some existing recipes generate, and add a few more recipes.

Testing and debugging the asmx package works with no issues, the modified asmx package has no new recipes, only new actions.

However, the wcf package will not pick up on the new changes. After I have de-registered, and registered the guidance package it doesn't seem to pick up on any of the changes.

When trying to debug the package, it will complain that it is unable to find the symbols for my new actions and references. I have tried uninstalling the WCF guidance package and reinstalling it with a modified setup file, however, when I do this it complains it cannot find WCFTooling.xml which doesn't exist in the released WCF guidance package either. One thing I should note is that the modified WCF solution is not in the WCF installation folder, however, the installer target is the installation folder. I think I have modified this project correctly, I have created my reciepes and edited binding.xml so that the unbound references are created.

I guess my questions are:Has anyone else run into this issue? Also when running the register/quick register recipe does it perform a file copy first? Or just immediately use those in the installation folder.

Ok,

After going into the installation folder and deleting the contents of the bin manually it now seems to be picking up on the changes.

I'm having the same problem with WCFTooling.xml. How exactly did you (or anyone else) fix it?

For those struggling with this problem:

Open WCF Guidance Package Setup\WCF Guidance Package Setup.vdproj file in your favorite text editor and replace all occurrences of WCFTooling.xml with WCF Guidance Package.xml

Hi guys,

This looks like a bug into WFC GP, did any of you reported this to the Serivices SF forums?
