Uptime Monitor Sample
The Uptime Monitor sample is a messaging-layer Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) client/server sample. The client is a Windows Forms application that runs on the device, and the server is a console application that runs on the .NET Framework on the desktop. This sample, which is available only in Visual C#, demonstrates a client that opens a request channel to find out how long the server has been running, and a server that opens a WCF reply channel in response.
Note
