WCF - How to serialize and deserialize in ISO8583?

Question

I'm working on a financial application that use WCF Services to communicate to clients. I want to connect my application to a global bank network in my country and I must use ISO8583 Messages to connect to it. is WCF suitable for this scenario? how can serialize and deserialize messages in ISO8583 in WCF?

Answer 1

WCF is totally suitable for this scenario. You must write a Custom Text Message Encoder to handle ISO8593 encoding.

Here is an example on how to do it:

Here is another example using a different enconding, ISO8859, but it's the same context: Calling a webservice that uses ISO-8859-1 encoding from WCF
