Accessing a WCF service using Compact Framework
A few constraints when connecting to a WCF service from a Compact Framework application : The binding must be set to basicHttpBinding, CF does not know what to do with a wsHttpBinding. The XmlSerializerFormat attribute must be set on the service contract, the default WCF serialization is not suitable for the CF. It would throw an exception when deserializing. Make sure you configure your endpoints correctly, "localhost" is not accessible from the mobile device (emulated or not), you can use ppp_peer as the hostname in the CF WCF proxy (a lot of CFs, I know). Happy CF coding :)
