How to use simple TCP/IP sockets connection over Net.TCP WCF binding?

Question

How to use simple TCP/IP sockets connections over/with Net.TCP WCF binding?
Idea is – We have a web service with Net.TCP binding on some URL, port. We want to take advantage of the WCF address model and simplicity of socket connections.
So can we use simple TCP/IP sockets connection over/with Net.TCP WCF binding?

If yes. What do I need?

• MSDN if there is any help on this.
• Open Source Libs/wrappers.
• Tutorials and blog articles on How to do it.

If no: I need know where did you get the information from (link to MSDN or other official WCF information resource).

Answer 1

I think you are looking for this - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/546004/how-to-use-socket-based-client-with-wcf-net-tcp-service

The way I see it you want to feed from wcf service with a socket object (correct me if I got it wrong)... I haven't done it (just read it)

Answer 2

It is possible to do this, but you would need to implement the .NET Message Framing Protocol used by NetTcpBinding. Documentation is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc219293%28PROT.10%29.aspx
