Examples

The following example shows how to create a CustomBinding object using a ReliableSessionBindingElement and an HttpTransportBindingElement

Uri baseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:8000/servicemodelsamples/service");

// Create a ServiceHost for the CalculatorService type and provide the base address.
using (ServiceHost serviceHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(CalculatorService), baseAddress))
{
    // Create a custom binding that contains two binding elements.
    ReliableSessionBindingElement reliableSession = new ReliableSessionBindingElement();
    reliableSession.Ordered = true;

    HttpTransportBindingElement httpTransport = new HttpTransportBindingElement();
    httpTransport.AuthenticationScheme = System.Net.AuthenticationSchemes.Anonymous;
    httpTransport.HostNameComparisonMode = HostNameComparisonMode.StrongWildcard;

    CustomBinding binding = new CustomBinding(reliableSession, httpTransport);

    // Add an endpoint using that binding.
    serviceHost.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(ICalculator), binding, "");

    // Add a MEX endpoint.
    ServiceMetadataBehavior smb = new ServiceMetadataBehavior();
    smb.HttpGetEnabled = true;
    smb.HttpGetUrl = new Uri("http://localhost:8001/servicemodelsamples");
    serviceHost.Description.Behaviors.Add(smb);

    // Open the ServiceHostBase to create listeners and start listening for messages.
    serviceHost.Open();

    // The service can now be accessed.
    Console.WriteLine("The service is ready.");
    Console.WriteLine("Press <ENTER> to terminate service.");
    Console.WriteLine();
    Console.ReadLine();

    // Close the ServiceHostBase to shutdown the service.
    serviceHost.Close();
}

Dim baseAddress As New Uri("http://localhost:8000/servicemodelsamples/service")

' Create a ServiceHost for the CalculatorService type and provide the base address.
Using serviceHost As New ServiceHost(GetType(CalculatorService), baseAddress)
    ' Create a custom binding that contains two binding elements.
    Dim reliableSession As New ReliableSessionBindingElement()
    reliableSession.Ordered = True

    Dim httpTransport As New HttpTransportBindingElement()
    httpTransport.AuthenticationScheme = System.Net.AuthenticationSchemes.Anonymous
    httpTransport.HostNameComparisonMode = HostNameComparisonMode.StrongWildcard

    Dim binding As New CustomBinding(reliableSession, httpTransport)

    ' Add an endpoint using that binding.
    serviceHost.AddServiceEndpoint(GetType(ICalculator), binding, "")

    ' Add a MEX endpoint.
    Dim smb As New ServiceMetadataBehavior()
    smb.HttpGetEnabled = True
    smb.HttpGetUrl = New Uri("http://localhost:8001/servicemodelsamples")
    serviceHost.Description.Behaviors.Add(smb)

    ' Open the ServiceHostBase to create listeners and start listening for messages.
    serviceHost.Open()

    ' The service can now be accessed.
    Console.WriteLine("The service is ready.")
    Console.WriteLine("Press <ENTER> to terminate service.")
    Console.WriteLine()
    Console.ReadLine()

    ' Close the ServiceHostBase to shutdown the service.
    serviceHost.Close()
End Using

Remarks

Use a custom binding when one of the system-provided bindings does not meet the requirements of your service. A custom binding could be used, for example, to enable the use of a new transport or a new encoder at a service endpoint.

A custom binding is constructed using one of the CustomBinding from a collection of binding elements that are "stacked" in a specific order:

At the top is an optional TransactionFlowBindingElement that allows flowing transactions.
Next is an optional ReliableSessionBindingElement that provides a session and ordering mechanism as defined in the WS-ReliableMessaging specification. This notion of a session can cross SOAP and transport intermediaries.
Next is an optional security binding element that provides security features like authorization, authentication, protection, and confidentiality. The following security binding elements are provided by Windows Communication Foundation (WCF):
Next are the optional message-patterns specified by binding elements:
CompositeDuplexBindingElement
Next are the optional transport upgrades/helpers binding elements:
Next is a required message encoding binding element. You can use your own transport or use one of the following message encoding bindings:
At the bottom is a required transport element. You can use your own transport or use one of transport binding elements provided by Windows Communication Foundation (WCF):

The following table summarizes the options for each layer.

Layer	Options	Required
Transaction Flow	TransactionFlowBindingElement	No
Reliability	ReliableSessionBindingElement	No
Security	Symmetric, Asymmetric, Transport-Level	No
Shape Change	CompositeDuplexBindingElement	No
Transport Upgrades	SSL stream, Windows stream, Peer Resolver	No
Encoding	Text, Binary, MTOM, Custom	Yes
Transport	TCP, Named Pipes, HTTP, HTTPS, flavors of MSMQ, Custom	Yes

In addition, you can define your own binding elements and insert them between any of the preceding defined layers.

Note

When calling a WCF service built with .NET Framework 4.0 or later from a WCF client application built with .NET Framework 3.5 or earlier, the configuration file generated by svcutil.exe or adding a service reference from Visual Studio will contain the validity attribute in the binding configuration. This attribute is not recognized by the .NET Framework 3.5 runtime and the application will thrown an ConfigurationErrorsException with the message "Unrecognized attribute validity". To workaround this problem, remove the validity attribute from the binding configuration.
