F5 Add-on for Web Farm Framework
Gupreet over on the IIS.NET site posted a sample for integrating an F5 load balancer with the Web Farm Framework. It works well, but isn't configurable. I started adding my own configuration, but artisticcheese posted a project to CodePlex that already has this functionality.

Using extension methods to decrease the surface area of a C# interface
An interface defines a contract to be implemented by one or more classes. One of the keys to a well-designed interface is defining a very specific range of functionality. The profile of the interface should be limited to a single purpose & should have the minimum methods required to implement this functionality. Keeping the interface tight will keep those implementing the interface from getting lazy & not implementing it properly. I've seen too many overly broad interfaces that aren't fully implemented by developers. Instead, they just throw a NotImplementedException for the method they didn't implement.

Populate a WCF syndication podcast using MP3 ID3 metadata tags
In the last post, I showed how to create a podcast using WCF syndication. A podcast is an RSS feed containing a list of audio files to which users can subscribe. The podcast not only contains links to the audio files, but also metadata about each episode. A cool approach to building the feed is reading this metadata from the ID3 tags on the MP3 files used for the podcast.

With .NET 3.5, Microsoft added the SyndicationFeed class to WCF for generating ATOM 1.0 & RSS 2.0 feeds. In .NET 3.5, it lives in System.ServiceModel.Web but was moved into System.ServiceModel in .NET 4.0.

Extracting EXIF metadata from JPG images
Drew Noakes has written a great EXIF metadata extractor for JPG images in Java which was ported to C# by Ferret Renaud. This allows you to pull out the EXIF data like camera model & date taken. You can also access the width & height of the image without loading it into a .NET image object.
