What's the most portable way to make a Silverlight & Regular .NET REST client
If you’re familiar with WebChannelFactory from .NET, it provides a clean way to create a client to access WCF Web Http (REST) services. There is no such class in Silverlight 4, so it might be worth creating a class that acts like it.
How would you get started in creating such as class, that creates a client that implements your service’s contract (TChannel)? I don’t know how Microsoft did this, but it looks like they somehow create a new Type at runtime to implement the interface. Would you approach doing this in Silverilght? Maybe by looking at System.Reflection.Emit and TypeBuilder.AddInterfaceImplementation?
A more specific-to-System.Reflection.Emit question I have is, what’s the simplest way to use MethodBuilder to create a method for your TypeBuilder, if you want to use existing compiled code? It looks like you could use MethodBuilder.CreateMethodBody, however, in Silverlight 4 this does not exist.
That’s a nice article. I decided to create a class which simplifies calling REST WCF services and more closely meets my needs. Maybe others will find it useful.
