Hi Rob, I actually implemented a similar "chunking" technique from scratch last year between WCF over http and an SL4 app. I simulated a simple "torrent" idea where numbered chunks are sent to the server who assembles them in a receiving array of the correct size. The only tricky code was on the SL

Hi Greg #N+1, That Silverlight weekend in Docklands was a great event, thank you to the guys that organised it! I would not say that I implemented my own data compression, more I avoided any extra fat in the data. I agree that I would not have been getting much extra mileage out of the pushi

Howdy Greg #2 (or 3?) Haven't seen you since the Silverlight weekend in Docklands a few years ago. Very interesting! You have implemented your own data compression, and we used to do very similar things back in the late 70s and 80s when mainframe disk space was precious. Compression algorithms an

Hi Greg, We've used a technique called Chunking to move large quantities of binary data around. We move ~50 Mb files (LAN only) this way and works pretty well. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa717050.aspx Rob From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozd

Hi Greg, What I did with my Motion Chart software ( http://www.eshiftlog.com/Silverlight/MotionGraphTestPage.html) to get better download performance was: • Move away from small WCF data transfers to transferring a single large encoded compressed text file • Only transfer raw data (no JSON/XML str
