I have a WCF service running inside Windows Service and it is located on my local network. What I want is to be able to discover WCF from my Silverlight app on my WP7 (on the same network).

I know there a Discovery feature in WCF, however it requires to UDP, which is not supported on WP7. So are there any other ways to discover local WCF?

I also do not know prior to launching WCF the IP address of the WCF service.

    The solution I came up with, is to use Sockets as on WP7 they support multicast.
    So set up would like this:

    • Desktop service – Windows Service hosting WCF and small Socket app
      which listens on specific port.
    • WP7 client – before connecting to WCF
      a broadcast would be sent using Sockets to find out an IP address of
      the machine which runs WCF, when got a response connect to WCF.
