Newbie: Implementing Direct Push using WCF

[Navin Mishra]

Hi,

Is there a sample showing implementation of Direct Push(like in Exchange)
using WCF in an efficient manner ? Could COMET like approach be implemented
using WCF too ?

Thanks in advance and regards

Navin

I'm not familiar with the term "direct push". Do you mean sending data to
clients who have not requested it? Or do you mean publish/subscribe? Could
you elaborate, please?

I meant Direct Push implemented in Exchange server to allow windows mobile
clients to get updates to e-mail, calendar, etc. There is a MSDN sample too(

Thanks

Thanks for the URL. I hadn't read that before. It sounds very interesting,
given that it uses basic HTTP mechanisms.

I don't know any reason why it wouldn't work in WCF. But you should take
that with more than just one grain of salt.

1) First of all, I'm not a WCF expert (yet).
2) Second of all, I didn't know about this until you told me!

If you don't get a better answer here, you might try asking on the WCF Forum
