Properties
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
ClientPollTimeout | The interval of time that a client polling request has to complete before timing out. | |
DuplexMode | Gets or sets a value that specifies how the server behaves in response to client polling when the communication is configured for duplex polling. | |
InactivityTimeout | Gets or sets the maximum interval of time that can pass without activity on a channel before the client channel enters a faulted state. | |
MaxPendingMessagesPerSession | Gets or sets the maximum number of pending messages per session. |

Clone | Creates a copy of the current binding element. (Overrides BindingElement.Clone().) | |
Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) | |
Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) | |
GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) | |
GetProperty<T> | Gets a property from the specified BindingContext. (Overrides BindingElement.GetProperty<T>(BindingContext).) | |

Remarks
In duplex communication, either party can initiate a message exchange. As with non-duplex communication, the client can send a request to the service and receive an optional reply. But with duplex communication, the service itself can initiate communications by sending a message to the client at any time. This is useful in applications where data must be pushed to the client when it is updated on the server.
Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) supports several types of duplex bindings. The PollingDuplexBindingElement is an element of the PollingDuplexHttpBinding that is specifically intended to establish communications with clients like Silverlight 5, where traditional duplex transport protocols like TCP are not available and where the client cannot accept new incoming connections. The PollingDuplexHttpBinding is the only duplex binding available to use with Silverlight 5 clients.
