>the first time you write an app using WCF it will work during testing but immediately fail as soon as you put it into production. The error messages suck. The tracing app. is nice but it's kind of hidden - it needs to be much more readily accessible.

Viv pointed to the info. The app is called SvcTraceViewer and it can view the log files that you can create with WCF. If I remember correctly it's part of the Windows SDK. I don't remember if I had to download it separately. On my machine it's hiding in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin folder. The higher the resolution of your monitor the better <g>. They even have an app. to help you configure the .config file - SvcConfigEditor.exe - it makes it easy to toggle on/off the diagnostic logging.
