Is it possible to write the server side in C#?

Question

C++ / C#

Does C# allow you to write server-side-network applications for Windows Server?
We need some REST service that would be accessed by client Desktop applications

Answer 1

If REST - then get acquainted: www.asp.net/web-api .
WCF is not dead, it's just that SOAP services are better on it than REST services (although nobody canceled WebGet).
It's actually amazing that you ask this. ASP.NET is the most advertised use of C# today.

Answer 2

As an alternative - look at vibed.org , unlike C #, it will be 100% portable and it is very convenient to write rest interfaces on it. Everything for this is there.
