Is DIME (WSE) available for use with Pocket PC and CF in C#?

[Katie]

Hi,



I need to send binary files to a server from a pocket pc via a web service
and also receive files from a server to the pocket pc via a web service. The
files are binary. I know this can be done using DIME and WSE but can it be
done with Pocket PCs and CF using C#? I think DIME is required on the client
device. Is it or something similar available. Is there another way I can
send binaries over a web service?



Isn't the cutting edge of technology painfully fun?



Thanks

Casey Chesnut has his own implementation:

I think at the moment this is the best you can do. For more information take
a look at this thread:

the DIME stuff in my lib is just a port of an early MS sample called
DimeSample.
it supports sending and receiving multiple DimeAttachments.
it does not support chunking.

the other option is to base64 encode/decode it to/from a web service.
(waste of CPU and bandwidth for small devices)

Thanks,
