Examples

Uri baseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:8001/Simple");
ServiceHost serviceHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(CalculatorService), baseAddress);

serviceHost.AddServiceEndpoint(
    typeof(ICalculator),
    new WSHttpBinding(),
    "CalculatorServiceObject");

// Enable MEX.
ServiceMetadataBehavior smb = new ServiceMetadataBehavior();
smb.HttpGetEnabled = true;

serviceHost.Open();

IChannelListener icl = serviceHost.ChannelDispatchers[0].Listener;
ChannelDispatcher dispatcher = new ChannelDispatcher(icl);

// Close the ServiceHostBase to shutdown the service.

Remarks

A ChannelDispatcher object associates an IChannelListener at a particular URI (called a listen URI) with an instance of a service. Each ServiceHost object can have many ChannelDispatcher objects, each associated with a different listener and listen URI for that service.

When a message arrives, the ChannelDispatcher queries each of the associated EndpointDispatcher objects whether the endpoint can accept the message, and passes the message to the one that can. The EndpointDispatcher object is responsible for processing messages from a ChannelDispatcher when the destination address of a message matches the AddressFilter property and the message action matches the ContractFilter property.

All properties that control the lifetime and behavior of a channel session are available for inspection or modification on the ChannelDispatcher object. In addition to the EndpointDispatcher, these include custom IChannelInitializer objects, the IChannelListener, the ServiceHost, the associated and InstanceContext.

Constructors

ChannelDispatcher(IChannelListener)

Initializes a new instance of the ChannelDispatcher class.

ChannelDispatcher(IChannelListener, String)

Initializes a new instance of the ChannelDispatcher class.

ChannelDispatcher(IChannelListener, String, IDefaultCommunicationTimeouts)

Initializes a new instance of the ChannelDispatcher class.

Properties

AsynchronousTransactedAcceptEnabled

Gets a value that indicates whether the transacted accept method calls on listener are asynchronous.

BindingName

Gets the name of the binding used to configure the service.

ChannelInitializers

Gets a set of IChannelInitializer objects that you can use to inspect and add state to channels when they are first created.

Gets the default interval of time allowed for the channel dispatcher to close.

DefaultOpenTimeout

Gets the default interval of time allowed for the channel dispatcher to open.

Endpoints

Gets the endpoint dispatchers which forward messages to the channel endpoints.

ErrorHandlers

Gets a set of IErrorHandler objects that can be used to insert custom error handling functionality for an endpoint.

Host

Gets the host for the service associated with the dispatcher.

IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether to include the details about an exception in a fault.

IsDisposed

Gets a value that indicates whether the communication object has been disposed.

(Inherited from CommunicationObject)
IsTransactedAccept

Gets a value that indicates whether the accept method calls on the listener are done under a transaction.

IsTransactedReceive

Gets a value that indicates whether the receive method calls on the listener are done under a transaction.

Listener

Gets the listener associated with the channel dispatcher.

ManualAddressing

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the channel dispatcher adds addressing headers to request-reply messages.

MaxPendingReceives

Gets or sets the maximum pending messages per channel.

MaxTransactedBatchSize

Gets or sets the maximum size for a transacted batch.

MessageVersion

Gets or sets the SOAP message and WS-Addressing versions that are used or expected.

ReceiveContextEnabled

Gets or sets whether ReceiveContext is enabled.

ReceiveSynchronously

Gets or sets a value that specifies whether the dispatcher uses synchronous calls to read messages from channels.

SendAsynchronously
