Thrift for Windows Phone 7

How do I compile the thrift .dll to use in a Windows Phone 7 application?
Compiling the .dll with standard Visual Studio Express 2010 works just  
fine, but when I try to add it as a reference to my Windows Phone project  
I get an error message saying that it wasn't built with the Windows Phone  
runtime.
When I then try to build it in Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows  
Phone I get some errors that BufferedStream, TcpClient and some others  
can't be found. I.e. they are not in the .NET CF that the Windows Phone  
SDK uses...
Any way to solve this? :)

If you're looking for Silverlight bindings for the Evernote EDAM API, get in
touch with me and I can share a beta with you. We described the work that we
did here:

Good post. Exactly what I was looking for. Did you completely port the whole
thrif project to WP7. Can you please post the whole project here, I mean only
the thrif project and EDAM project. Thanks in advance.

I've just spent a few minutes porting the Thrift code to compile for Windows
Phone 7 and this is what I have so far:
1) Removed all [Serializable] attributes.
2) Removed the TSocket.cs and TServerSocket.cs files from the project*.
3) Edited the THashSet class like this:
	public class THashSet<T> : ICollection<T>
	{
#if NET_2_0
		TDictSet<T> set = new TDictSet<T>();
#else
#if WINDOWS_PHONE
        List<T> set = new List<T>();
#else
		HashSet<T> set = new HashSet<T>();
#endif
#endif

Now, I'm working on the THttpClient.cs usage of HttpWebRequest which has a
different API on the Windows Phone 7 (they do everything asynchronously).  I
think the best thing to do is implement timeouts in my own HttpWebRequest
sub-class and translate the synchronous connection.GetRequestStream() and
connection.GetResponse() to the asynchronous Windows Phone 7 versions.  This
will take a bit longer.

In that same section of code, the Windows Phone 7 version of HttpWebRequest does
not implement support for the .Proxy member but that is just set to null in the
existing code.

Likewise, the data.Length can just be passed directly to the Stream.Write() call
since the Windows Phone 7 version of HttpWebRequest also lacks a .ContentLength
member.

I haven't yet figured out what I'm going to do about the lack of a
BufferedStream implementation in Windows Phone 7.  This is used in
TBufferedTransport.cs but I don't know how critical it is.

*I'm actually using links to the regular Thrift files so this just means that I
removed the links for those two files.

We'll see if I can knock the rest of this out later today.
