Can I use Compression in WCF?

we hosted WCF services in I开发者_运维问答IS 5.1 wndows xp sp3 with httpBasicBinding.

The data tranferered is huge in size and transfered every 1 minute.

For this to less data transfer Is it possible to compress the response of WCF service by using default http compression ? Can I have some sample code / article for using http comression in WCF?

There's a project on Codeplex available, I've used it successfully in projects.

Anyway, have you considered compressing the data before it is sent, and uncompressing it back upon reception?

Another option would be to explore the streaming capabilities of WCF: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms731913.aspx
