Any benefits to using WCF for this?

I need to receive XML data from HttpPost requests. Currently I use HttpWebRequest to send the request and I convert the request to xml with StreamReader and XDocument.Parse.

Are there any benefits to switching over to WCF? Thanks!

If you don't plan to dramatically extend your application and only want to switch to WCF so that you are using it, no. :-)

WCF will give you some more flexibility - you could for example consume data in other data formats or from other transport formats (Named Pipes, ...)

I hope i understood your question correctly !!!

The use of WCF lies where you know that both the sending as well as receiving end share the same data contract. I think in your case, using WCF will benefit if both are MS application and the contract is not supposed to change very frequently.
