Hi
i am currently designing a WPF application that requires the use of push notification to the client device(For example if a operator is assigned a new task by the administrator, a push notification will be sent to the operator device and when the operator check the task as finished a push notification will be sent to the Administrators device). And also i want changes to the database data to reflect immediately on the client side. How can i go about this ? I figure WCF might be my best option but i don't know what to do?

Solution 1

Look for duplex communications inside wcf. This facility allows you to reopen publication/subscription principle.
For example when you perform login request from a client side, WCF service will authorize this user and (for example) assign it to a specific group (for example: your's operator), then when some trigger is invoked, it will performs publication of specified message to a operator's group and broadcast it ... etc.

Another option could be SignalR (from ASP WEB stack).

I have a very similar case here, is there a sample or detailed article to illustrate the solution?

There are a lot of samples here:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/34460/WCF-Duplex-Reentrant-Services
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/17704/WCF-Duplex-Operations-and-UI-Threads
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/566543/WCF-Message-Exchange-Patterns-MEPs

the articles above related to the WCF duplex communication, what is concersn signalR read about it on the Microsoft site.
With regards, Oleksandr.
