Hi,

WCF is a framework, TCP/IP is a protocol. WCF can use protocols such as TCP, WCF can also use HTTP for example:

Have also a look at these articles:

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply, i am familiar with the wcf framework, i already implemented a
solution based on wcf with http web services, but in this case only the clients are triggering the server because he as constant ip, but how can the server trigger the client that have dianymic ip's - whats the best way to solve this?

thanks, but this method is triggering all the clients that suscribed to the server, what can i do if i want to trigger only 1 client?

You can try this:
After a client connected to the server, give the client a unique ID, and send the ID to the client. If you need to trigger an IP, trigger all clients, and if you want to trigger a client with ID '500' for example, then send to all clients a message like 'C500?' and if client 500 receives the message, client 500 should answer with 'C500!', so the server knows the IP of client 500. It's complex, but it works.
