Send messages from Restful WCF service to Clients

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I created a JSON based RestFul WCF service, and it is consumed by a .Net WinForms Client, I am able to do all the CRUD operation from my client, but now I have a requirement where I need to broadcast messages to my clients. These message are not part of the callback for client requests. So, is it possible to achieve this functionality?

Thanks in advance.

I guess you are looking for Broadcasting Events with a Duplex WCF Service[^].

As I mentioned my service is RestFul WCF service which has WebHttpBinding. But from the article it looks like to broadcast events to clients, I need to change it to netTcpBinding, if I do that my Rest functionality will not work. So probably I need to create 2 endpoints one for REST and another one for SOAP. its getting little complicated....

Yes. You are correct. Try hard, you will succeed. :)

Instead of making changes to my service, I used SignalR :). I created a self hosted SignalR server in my server and made my client listen to it

Oh yes. That is the best. Good work. :)
