Services

Hi folks,

what is your opinion or better off your practical experience using WCF to work with WSS instead of SP web services?

I am writing some custom library for our software to store and retrieve files from WSS document libraries using sharepoint web services. I am not entirely happy with the performance of the sp web services - a bit too slow in many cases.

Now, microsoft claims a significant improvements in WCF over remoting and I am looking into a good way to use WCF for my file services.

Any suggestions or ideas? Maybe a good source of coding practices or blogs?

Thanks a lot, Val
