I've used several times DIME and WS-Attachments to transfer files between different systems.

I've used both MSSOAP 3.0 and WSE 1.0 without any problems, apart some initial configuration trouble, easily solved carefully reading the docs.

Careful though with a dependency on DIME. It is really on it's way out.

I have some trouble using SOAP attachment. My prototype is programmed in C#. After I ported the code to Managed C++, I got an error which says something like "web service request 'application/dime' received, but 'text/xml' expected".

I heard WSE2.0 doesn't support Managed C++. I was wondering if there are work-arounds so I can handle DIME requests but still use Managed C++ for the web service.

Hello,

Can we use DIME for Compact frame work.

Or any other option for that.

Thanks,
