  Welcome 

Welcome to the home of the Queensland MSDN User Group (QMSDNUG)!

QMSDNUG is the first contact point for Brisbane and Queensland .NET developers dedicated to sharing knowledge with and learning from each other. We primarily work with Microsoft technologies and acknowledge the support we receive from Microsoft.

QMSDNUG has operated continuously since 1998, before .NET!

Meeting Dates: Meetings are generally held on the 3rd Tuesday of each month, apart from December where that's a bit late in the month.  See below for details of our upcoming meetings.

Location and Time: Meetings are held at Microsoft's Brisbane Office, Level 9, Waterfront Place, 1 Eagle St, Brisbane. Most arrive around 5:30pm for a 6pm start and we are normally finished around 7:30. It is important to arrive before the building lifts are locked at 6pm.  Late arrival procedure: see below.

All welcome; bring your friends and colleagues. Whenever possible, pizza and drinks are supplied.

Michael O’Dea-Jones: WCF: Configuring the bastard!

We’ve all seen the demos and thought how awesome it would be to get some Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) services going.  Once you get past the ABC of WCF you can find yourself in a world of pain with no one to turn to. God maybe, but that’s a different topic.  More often than not, when you finally get down to the problem, it’s a configuration issue.  Well, it was for me.  So in this 1 hour presentation I will take you through some of the configuration issues I’ve come across and then show you how I solved them using WCF Tracing.  There will be demos, humour an learning’s.
