WCF server with CF3.5?

[Rainer]

Hello NG,

just a short queston: Is it possible with a WindowsCE device an CF3.5
possible to host a WCF service (server)?

Thanks in advance.

No, ServiceHost is not supported on any version of CF. Usually you'd write
your own socker server instead.

As Simon replied, you can't host WCF on a device, but you may have a look at
RemObjects and check if it suits you: like in WCF, you can create a contract
for the messages, and expose your service from the device using 'plain' TCP
or HTTP.

Hello Simon and Albert,

thanks for your answers. I then will use my UDP framework I developed a
while ago which is proven to work in a different smart device application.
