Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of ServiceMetadataBehavior in a configuration file to enable metadata support for HTTP/GET and WS-Transfer/GET requests.

        // Create a new metadata behavior object and set its properties to
        // create a secure endpoint.
        ServiceMetadataBehavior sb = new ServiceMetadataBehavior();
        //sb.EnableHelpPage= true;
        //sb.HttpsGetUrl = new Uri("https://myMachineName:8036/myEndpoint");
        //myServiceHost.Description.Behaviors.Add(sb);
    }

      private void SnippetServiceMetadataBehavior()
      {
          // service for which <<indigo2>> automatically adds a
          // ServiceMetadataBehavior to publish metadata as well as
          // an HTML service help page

          // from C_HowToSecureEndpoint\cs
          // Create a new metadata behavior object and set its properties to
          // create a secure endpoint.
          ServiceMetadataBehavior sb = new ServiceMetadataBehavior();
/*          sb.EnableHelpPage = true;
          sb.enableMetadataExchange = true;
          sb.HttpsGetUrl = new Uri("https://myMachineName:8036/myEndpoint");
          myServiceHost.Description.Behaviors.Add(sb);
 */
      }

    private void Run()
    {

      // T:System.ServiceModel.ServiceMetadataBehavior
      // <Snippet#0>

      // Create a ServiceHost for the service type and use the base address from configuration.
      ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(SampleService));
      try
      {
        ServiceMetadataBehavior metad
          = host.Description.Behaviors.Find<ServiceMetadataBehavior>();
        if (metad == null)
          metad = new ServiceMetadataBehavior();
        metad.HttpGetEnabled = true;
        host.Description.Behaviors.Add(metad);
        host.AddServiceEndpoint(
          ServiceMetadataBehavior.MexContractName,
          MetadataExchangeBindings.CreateMexHttpBinding(),
          "mex"
        );

        // 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.
        host.Close();

        // </Snippet#0>

Remarks

If the value of HttpGetUrl is relative, the address at which the metadata is published is the base address and the service address plus a ?wsdl querystring.

If the value of HttpGetUrl is absolute the address at which the metadata is published is this value plus a ?wsdl querystring.

For example, if the service address is http://localhost:8080/CalculatorService and the HttpGetUrl is an empty string, the HTTP/GET metadata address is http://localhost:8080/CalculatorService?wsdl.
