Using CF Services to Manage Large File Transfers

This topic showcases how to integrate .NET and CF based webservices into a complete application and also presents a methodology for managing the transfer of large audio files that have been recorded on laptops in the field. The methodology discussed uses a simple packet type of approach where large files are “split” into manageable pieces and are sent piece by piece from a client laptop to centralized server and when all packets have been received and validated the file is re-assembled and saved on a website for further analysis. This presentation will discuss the approach used and the details of the technologies used. We will also look at the lessons learned and some future uses of this type of methodology.
