Networking

• Silverlight 2 has rich networking support• SOAP/XML Web services via WCF

proxies• Untyped HTTP services (REST, RSS,

ATOM) via HttpWebRequest and WebClient

• Socket support, asset downloads over HTTP, syndication classes, and more

• Also supports WCF duplex services and ADO.NET data services ("Astoria")

Downloading Binary Assets

WebClient wc = new WebClient(); wc.DownloadProgressChanged += new DownloadProgressChangedEventHandler(OnProgressChanged); wc.OpenReadCompleted += new OpenReadCompletedEventHandler(OnDownloadCompleted); wc.OpenReadAsync(new Uri("Assets/Flight.wmv", UriKind.Relative)); ... void OnDownloadCompleted(object sender, OpenReadCompletedEventArgs e) { Stream result = e.Result; // TODO: Use result }

Downloading RSS

WebClient wc = new WebClient(); wc.OpenReadCompleted += new OpenReadCompletedEventHandler(OnDownloadCompleted); wc.OpenReadAsync(new Uri ("http://feeds.feedburner.com/AbcNews_TopStories")); ... void OnDownloadCompleted(object sender, OpenReadCompletedEventArgs e) { using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(e.Result)) { SyndicationFeed feed = SyndicationFeed.Load(reader); RssLB.ItemsSource = feed.Items; // Bind to ListBox } }

Calling a REST Service

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest) HttpWebRequest.Create (new Uri("http://contoso.com/weather/98052")); request.BeginGetResponse (new AsyncCallback(OnGetResponseCompleted), request); ... private void OnGetResponseCompleted(IAsyncResult ar) { HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)ar.AsyncState; HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.EndGetResponse(ar);

using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())) { string result = reader.ReadToEnd(); ... } }

WCF Duplex Services

• Silverlight can integrate with WCF duplex services to implement push model for data• Client transmits Net Duplex request

to initiate connection• Server uses WS-Make Connection to

open callback channel for transmitting data

• Client "listens" on callback channelhttp://petermcg.wordpress.com/2008/09/03/silverlight-polling-duplex-part-1-architecture/

Sockets

• Silverlight supports socket connections• System.Net.Sockets.Socket class• Policy file required even for same domain• Connection must be made from client

• Restrictions• Ports 4502-4532 only• Host identified by host name, not IP• TCP only (no UDP)
