WCF HTTP Sample

This sample demonstrates a simple "Hello, World" message transaction across the HTTP transport and is based on Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) in the .NET Compact Framework. The sample, which is available only in C#, includes a server component that runs on the desktop and listens on an HTTP channel, and a client component that runs on the device and sends a serialized message to the server.
