WCF netTcpBinding not supported in Smart Device Development

Question

I don't find Add Service Reference in Smart Device Development template in VS2008.  I want to use WCF netTcpBinding to get best performance.

How can I use WCF netTcpBinding in Smart Device/Windows Mobile Development projects?

Regards.

Answer 1

Hi,

Add Service Reference is not available for Mobile versions. You have to create the proxy by using NetCFSvcUtil.exe .

Check the limitations here:

Also check the WCF Guidance for Mobile
