.NET Micro Framework (Archive)

When I published my message about implementing DPWS on .NET Micro Framework I had some questions how to make a Client on the Full .NET Framework.

I tried it and had some succes by disassembling the Micro Framwork DPWS implementation with the Refractor tool, modifying some dependencies and fixing some function differences. This is a solution but obvious not the right solution. I’ve send an e-mail to Steve Maillot if I could make my example public. When doing so I would provide a reverse-engineered and modified version of Microsoft libraries and that’s quite logical not allowed.. Not the solution thus..

Next solution is to make our own basic DPWS client, not the most impossible task in the world but Steve ensured me Microsoft is working on a document explaining how to use WCF to connect to a DPWS device, Not with device discovery, that is planned for the 4.0 .NET release.

So stay tuned.. beter to wait a while than make you’re own half baked solution.
