Efficient way to send images via WCF?

Question

I am learning WCF, LINQ and a few other technologies by writing, from scratch, a custom remote control application like VNC. I am creating it with three main goals in mind:

Answer 1

1. Your solution looks fine to me, but I suggest (as others did) you use tiles and compress the traffic when possible. In addition, I think you should send the entire image once a while, just to be sure that the client's deltas have a common "base".

2. Perhaps you can use an existing solution for streaming, such as RTP-H263 for video streaming. It works great, it uses compression, and it's well documented and widely used. You can then skip the WCF part and go directly to the streaming part (either over TCP or over UDP). If your solution should go to production, perhaps the H263 streaming approach would be better in terms of responsiveness and network usage.
