Various Device discovery methods in Windows phone 7

Question

Hi guys which are the various methods for discovering devices or desktop clients in windows phone 7?

I have used Udpanysourcemulticast client which only works in wi-fi. And there is no support for UDP broadcast in wp7. Then what else can I use for discovering devices in a network?

Answer 1

You can send a sspd discovery message using a udp socket, and then listen for the responses. I have used this method and it works great. It is too much code to post but if you google "wp7 ssdp:discover" you should find several examples.
