BindingElement.CanBuildChannelFactory<TChannel>(BindingContext) Method

Definition

Returns a value that indicates whether the binding element can build a channel factory for a specific type of channel.

public virtual bool CanBuildChannelFactory<TChannel> (System.ServiceModel.Channels.BindingContext context);

Type Parameters

TChannel

The type of channel the channel factory produces.

Parameters

context
BindingContext

The BindingContext that provides context for the binding element.

Returns

true if the IChannelFactory<TChannel> of type TChannel can be built by the binding element; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

context is null.

Examples

CustomBinding binding = new CustomBinding();
HttpTransportBindingElement element = new HttpTransportBindingElement();
BindingParameterCollection parameters = new BindingParameterCollection();
BindingContext context = new BindingContext(binding, parameters);

bool bFlag = element.CanBuildChannelFactory<IRequestChannel>(context);

Remarks

Use this method if you want to check that the channel factory for channels of type TChannel can be build for the context provided before attempting to build the factory. Alternatively, build the channel factory by calling BuildChannelFactory and catch the exception generated if it cannot be built.
