Hi All,
I play around with "real time" updates to and from SL clients, and have
figured out a couple of possibilities with Silverlight.
1. Sockets
2. Polling over WCF in SL2 or SL3 (HTTP)
3. WCF net.tcp protocol in Silverlight 4 (Polling over TCP Sockets)
Anyone has some good or bad experience with them?
Regarding
1. Performance
2. Ease of development
3. Security (Firewalls are not a problem)
My opinion so far:
1. Sockets
1. Harder to write than calling a WCF service
2. Best option regarding performance
2. Polling over WCF (HTTP)
1. Not a nice solution regarding performance
3. WCF net.tcp protocol in Silverlight 4 (Polling over TCP Sockets)
1. Under the hood sockets, but I don't have to worry about sockets
2. Good performance
Port restrictions to all of those I have seen...
Your opinions?
PS
This guy has a nice Socket implementation for getting updates from a server

This guy is writing about WCF net.tcp in SL 4

PS2
What can I do against port restrictions?
