Consuming SOAP Service from Windows Azure Mobile Services
I have a Windows Azure Mobile Service running, however this service requires some data to be exposed to an external SOAP service and store this information in the mobile services database.
I would like to set up a worker in a mobile service so calls to the external SOAP service are made over a fixed period of time.
I've searched for a solution to this problem but haven't found anything yet. So any help to guide me in the right direction would be appreciated.

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to talk to a SOAP service from your mobile service. The backend is based on Node.js, and while there are several Node modules for communicating with SOAP services, they are not currently supported in mobile services. We are working on a solution that will allow you to use any Node module in your service, but it hasn't been released yet.
If you manage and write a SOAP service using WCF, you can easily add a REST endpoint to the service with just a few configuration changes, and then consume it from your mobile service via simple HTTP requests using a "request".
