AutoGenerateCorrelationToken

Automatically generates a correlation token and places it onto the stack.

Syntax

  
<wcf:Operation Name="AutoGenerateCorrelationToken" />  

Parameters

None.

Pushed Value

String containing the correlation token.

Remarks

This operation can be used when there is no correlation token present in the message but you still want to correlate the information from a request and a reply. It can be used to correlate a particular request/reply on either the client or the service side.

Note

If you want to correlate the data gathered by the request and the reply for both the client and the service (a continuation), you will need to use a data element or elements from your message.

Example

The following example correlation expression relies on the AutoGenerateCorrelationToken to generate a correlation token.

<ic:CorrelationID>  
  <ic:Expression>            
    <wcf:Operation Name="AutoGenerateCorrelationToken"/>  
  </ic:Expression>  
</ic:CorrelationID>
