[Title] TCP-Based WCF Discovery [Category] Discovery [Last Updated] 6/23/2014 [Description] 
With WCF 4.0, developers could leverage discovery for easy deployment and literally config file-free applications. Simply move the bits to the target machines and everything works. Discovery acts as the ultimate class factory, connecting clients to services. But WCF discovery uses UDP - a noisy unreliable protocol often blocked in many Enterprise environments. However, at the heart of all discovery mechanisms is the broadcasting of a query for available compatible services, and with the proper infrastructure you can substitute TCP for UDP. This download contains an alternative discovery technique based on TCP, along with the helper classes that streamline the discovery both on the client and the service side. The file demonstrates both plain discovery and announcements. You can use this as your own dynamic distributed configuration repository, deployed with one or two lines of code.
