Host a Web Service in a Windows Forms Application

[Ludovic DE FREITAS]

Hello,

I am making a prototype system with a Pocket PC that must connect to a
Server Application.
Unfortunately, the server cannot be a Web Server, but a simple Windows Forms
Application.

Here is my question:
The only way to easily communicate for a Pocket PC is the Web Service.
Is it possible to host a web service in a Windows Forms Application ?
I have try to register a Remoting Object With HTTP Channel but It seems not
to work.

Here is the code I have try :
public static void StartRemoting() {
ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(new HttpServerChannel(4801),false);
RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType (
typeof(MyService),
"MyService",
WellKnownObjectMode.SingleCall );
}

When I try to register the web service by using the URL:
http://theserver.domain:4801/MyService?WSDL
This URL return a well formated XML SOAP Contract but it declare no method
and cannot be consumed.

Thank you for your help.

Ok, so you want to connect an app, running on the pocket PC, to another
app, running on a remote PC, and you want to do it via web services.
yes?

and you want to know, can you host web services in a windows forms app?

yes.

have you seen Cassini?

I have a similiar Problem.

I must Host a WEB-Service in a Windows form Application.

Bute the CASSINI-Example seemed not to be the
solution for me.
In the CASSINI-Example example there is now way,
to get data from the windows-Applictaion to the
WEB-Service !!

Lets assume I need a WEB-Service:
GetOpenWindowName( ) as string

How can I get in the Web-Service the name of the open window
in the Windows forms Application ??
Thanks for any hint
