WCFRaw is a framework for using Microsoft's WCF at a lower level then the standard way of setting a Service Reference in Visual Studio and having the client stub code generated for you.

The motivation for writing the original came from a complex industry standard XML Schema used in a service WSDL we were trying to consume that the standard Service Reference was unable to parse. It is rewritten here for the public.

WCFRaw can use XML in Linq to XML XElement form, or XML bound to .NET objects using Xsd.exe or similar.

For the asynchronous parts of the code, WCFRaw uses the Reactive Extensions for .NET.

It targets Silverlight as many years ago this was one of the client app we were using. It also works in a standard .NET app, however to open the solutions properly you need the Silverlight SDK installed.

NOTE: I was studying Scala and Category Theory when I originally wrote this hence the A -> B stuff.
