Mono WCF example

Basic example of WCF Services with Mono. WCF is Windows Communication Foundation.

Run

• Open the WcfMonoService.sln file with either MonoDevelop, Xamarin Studio or Visual Studio.
• Build the solution
• Start the solution

It should start two console applications - service and client.

Structure

• WcfMonoClient/ Console application - consumes the service.
• WcfMonoService/ Console application - hosts the WCF service.

Configuration

Service/client configuration is written in App.config files for both client and service.

• netNamedPipeBinding
• wsDualHttpBinding
• basicHttpBinding
• netTcpBinding

Notes:

• Tested only on Xamarin (Windows) and MonoDevelop (Linux)
• Might be necessary to run service as administrator.
• wsDualHttpBinding doesn't seem to be implemented in linux yet, raising NotImplementedException.
