Hello All,

Chapter 9
pages 400 - 402

Create a Client Application that Uses WCF Data Services: Am I missing something or is the code bad.

Thanks

Code below is not producing any data

NorthwidsEntities db = new NorthwindsEntities (new Uri("http://localhost:????/NorhtwindsService.svc/"));

var categories = from c in db.Categories select c;

foreach (Category category in categories)
{
Debug.WriteLine(string.Format("CategoryID: {0}, CategoryName: {1}",
category.CategoryID, category.CategoryName));
}

The Debug.WriteLine should be Console.WriteLine... (bad code)

I'm not sure if it was the writer's intent (I didn't write that chapter), but you can use Debug much as you can use Console. By default, they do pretty much the same thing. The difference is Debug statements are removed from release builds.

The Debug class in the System.Diagnostics namespace, so the program should probably include that with a using statement.
