Streamed Silverlight file downloads using WCF

  • Article

Carlos, one of my teammates responsible for WCF support in Silverlight, just posted a code sample showing how to do file downloads from Silverlight using a WCF service. The key here is that it uses HTTP chunking (or streaming) on a single response to return the file. This is something that get asked on the forum all the time.

Check it out on Carlos’ blog:
