Restrictions of Sockets in Silverlight 2.0 Beta 1

Author: Neo | Posted: 5. March 2008 05:41 4

As expected, Silverlight 2.0 Beta 1 was released hours ago, and it comes with Socket Networking support. Silverlight applications can now make direct/persistent connections to remote server. There are however some restrictions:

  • Supports only TCP.
  • Connect to only site or host of origin. (Temporary restriction until future release of Silverlight 2.0)
  • Connect to only port range of 4502-4532.
Maybe there are some more. It is a bit early to list them all here.

Laughing And my idea to write BitTorrent client in Silverlight. We'll have to wait for Beta 2 or something.

Hi,
Is there  a working sample. Does the persistent socket  require any server software as samples of Kaazing.com

Bummer, those are some heavy restrictions. I was actually considering porting a flash multiplayer game to Silverlight, but I'll wait for it to mature a bit more.
