Hi Savas, While someone may well have made the statement to which you refer, what I had in mind was the rather stronger statement I've heard, namely that developing WSRF services will be problematic in DevStudio unless MS themselves provide support for WSRF. The counter that I've heard from the WSRF side is that the existing WS-A support is all that is needed from MS; other support can be provided by third parties. I still think the best way to resolve this is for sceptics and advocates to "pair program" a service together and see what issues arise.

If you read the message from Dave Berry it refers to a statement which has been made in the past that WSRF-specific libraries are not necessary if support for WS-Addressing support exists. This is what my message was about. You seem to have missed that part of my argument.
PS. (...be careful not to give arguments in support of wsrf and
wsrf.net
;-) )
Thank you for the suggestion! Be assured that I am very careful in what I write. (I've learned my lesson from past mistakes :-) Regards, .savas.
