Bonjour for WinPhone8 / WinRT (ARM)?

Hi,


I wrote an application for WinPhone7 that needed a Zero Configuration service and could not solve this problem at all.

Now we try to convert this App into the WinPhone8 App (WinRT) - the CPU of Phone will be probable ARM.

My question: is it possible to use Bonjour 3.0 for Windows for this purpose?


Thanks in advance

Wow, so many answers 😉


I have now a solution for my problem and this solution dont need any Bonjour ...


The Key is to use a multicast DNS - I simply broadcast to 224.0.0.251:5353 (one-shot-queries) using ANY / PTR and listen to the answers. I get the IPs of all devices that implements the service I'm looking for (for example _daap._tcp.local) plus my own IP as an echo.


I think this is a best and simplest solution for WinRT - you can wait many time for an Bonjour's implementation as I see 🙂
