PackWebRequest Sample

This sample shows how to use the PackWebRequest and PackWebResponse APIs to access data files and content that is contained in a Package. The sample simulates a client/server architecture where content that the client user wishes access is located in Package stores on one of several "ArchiveServers". The Package stores on each ArchiveServer can be accessed by a "RetailServer" that the client can query to retrieve the desired content. The sample illustrates use of the pack URI to form a PackWebRequest and retrieve data from a resultant PackWebResponse. For additional information about how the sample operates, see the documentation files provided in the sample "Documents" folder.

This sample demonstrates specific features of the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and, consequently, does not necessarily follow application development best practices. For comprehensive coverage of WPF and Microsoft .NET Framework application development best practices, refer to the following as appropriate:
