WCF-Custom Transport Properties Dialog Box, Send, Import-Export Tab

  • Article

 

Use the Import/Export tab to import and export the Address (URI) and Endpoint Identity properties, binding information on the Binding tab, and endpoint behavior on the Behavior tab for this send port.

Note

You need to click Apply to apply the changes you make in the transport properties dialog box before you can export the WCF configuration to a .config file.

Use this To do this
Import Display the Import WCF configuration dialog box, which you use to import the Address (URI) and Endpoint Identity properties, binding information on the Binding tab, and endpoint behavior on the Behavior tab for this send port from a configuration file.
Export Display the Export WCF configuration dialog box, which you use to export the Address (URI) and Endpoint Identity properties, binding information on the Binding tab, and endpoint behavior on the Behavior tab to a configuration file. Note: If the send port is configured to use multiple identity types for Endpoint Identity, only the identity type with the lowest number can be exported. For example, if 1. DNS and 4. RSA are both set in the Identity Editor dialog box, only the 1. DNS property is saved by using the Export tab.
Import WCF configuration Select a configuration file from which to import the Address (URI) and Endpoint Identity properties, binding information on the Binding tab, and endpoint behavior on the Behavior tab. After selecting a configuration, you can specify the endpoint configuration to import from the Select Endpoint dialog box. Note: The WCF configuration files may contain the <headers> element to specify a collection of custom address headers, but the WCF-Custom adapter does not import and use the <headers> element. To use SOAP headers with the WCF send adapters, you use the WCF.OutboundCustomHeaders property. For more information about how to consume WCF Services with custom SOAP headers, see the related topic listed in See Also section of this topic.
Export WCF configuration Select a configuration file to which to export the Address (URI) and Endpoint Identity properties, binding information on the Binding tab, and endpoint behavior on the Behavior tab.
