Is it possible to use NetCFSvcutil.exe to generate .NET 2.0-compatible code? Or does it require .NETCF 3.5?

I also get an "operation contract not found" error for one of the web services I tried.

Thanks!

Will the Power Toys CTP work with CF 3.5 Final?

Jo,

NetCFSvcUtil generates code that requires WCF libraries, which are only available in CF 3.5, so the proxies will not work on CF 2.0. It would be nice to get a version of wsdl.exe working for CF 2.0, wouldn't it?

When you get operation contract not found errors, you might want to check the validity of the WSDL. Try using svcutil.exe on it and see if that gives you a different result.

Hi Alex,

The RTW version of the Power Tows is available now. You should install that for use with CF 3.5 RTM to avoid some failures, although NetCFSvcUtil proxies generated from the CTP version will work on 3.5 RTM just fine.

Any idea when Asynchronous web service calls will be supported by the .NET CF?

I have been googling for a few days trying to find out how to implement username/password authentication from a .NET CF 3.5 client against a WCF service.

I understand that is not buiilt in, but wondered if anyone has some pointers to how I might implement it using custom headers?

I am using Transport security over the basicHTTPBinding.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Is it possible to have a mobile device actuallt HOST a WCF service? That probably seems like an odd request, but WCF will be an ideal base upon which for us to build only if the host computer can contact the clients as well as simply having the clients contact the host. The standard issue CF libraries don't seem to supposrt ServiceHost, but is there a way to get ServiceHost to run on a program built with the CF libraries anyway? Thanks in advance for any pointers.

I am trying to generate proxies using netcfsvcutil with the /r switch pointing to a shared dll. The shared dll is not used within the proxies, can anyone help please? The shared dll does work in a non-CF client.

Hi there,

I'm struggling to get netcfsvcutil to use a shared class library... i add the switch '/r:c:\common.dll' for example, but this seems to be ignored and proxies are generated instead of reusing the common elements of code. If I use the desktop equivalent the shared library is used as I would expect. Are there limitations on the types of libraries that may be used at all?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and best regards, Carl

Andrew we are working with this with great results as well as scratches. But we have now an issue. We just exposed another service we also consume from the PDA, I generated the proxy classes, the CFCBase one is identical, but the other has some re-implementations, compared to the first calss we generated.. is there a way around this issue?
