WSCF Moved to Open Source on CodePlex

Thinktecture has announced that their popular Web Service Contract First tool (WSCF) has been made available as an open source project hosted on CodePlex.

I love using WSCF to build web service proxy interfaces for traditional asmx web services. It is a fantastic tool that greatly improves upon the traditional “Add a Web Reference” functionality in Visual Studio. The one thing I was always frustrated about it was the (lack of) speed of its development, and the timeliness of keeping up with .NET releases. Hopefully, the open source community will rise to the challenge and improve upon an already solid product.
