[MonoTouch] WCF Status

[Miguel de Icaza]

Hello Jeff,

I currently have Silverlight apps talking to servers using WCF. In order to

The WCF stack has improved, but it is not yet a complete 1:1 mapping of
Microsoft's WCF stack.  Every once in a while we run into limitations on
it, and it still consumes a lot of memory.

My suggestion -if you can- is to use regular .NET Web Services or even
better switch to a REST stack like ServiceStack.

Miguel
