Using WCF CloseAsync in silverlight

Question

Is this the right approach for closing connections with WCF in silverlight?

ServiceClient client = new ServiceClient();

        client.MakeRequestCompleted += (sender, e) =>
            {
                client.CloseAsync();

                //some implementation goes here
            };

        for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
        {
            client.MakeRequestAsync();
        }

I appear to be having problems related to concurrent connections, when the loop gets to the point where its made about 300 requests, it just fails. Thanks.

I'm not an expert but I've been researching a similar problem and no one else has left an answer...

You are closing your client without guaranteeing your operation to make 1000 web service calls has finished. I have also found it a little tough to find documentation on the CloseAsync method, but the accepted wisdom seems to be to call CloseAsync after you've made all your web service calls.

Also, making a thousand web service calls in your app could be dangerous - obviously I don't know the ins and outs of your situation but it may be better to combine your calls into fewer, larger operations.
