IClientMessageInspector Interface

Definition

Namespace:

System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher

Assembly:

System.ServiceModel.Primitives.dll

Package:

System.ServiceModel.Primitives v8.1.1

Source:

IClientMessageInspector.cs

Defines a message inspector object that can be added to the MessageInspectors collection to view or modify messages.

C#

public interface IClientMessageInspector

Examples

The following code example shows an implementation that writes strings to the console when the implementation is called.

C#

#region IClientMessageInspector Members
public void AfterReceiveReply(ref System.ServiceModel.Channels.Message reply, object correlationState)
{
  Console.WriteLine("IClientMessageInspector.AfterReceiveReply called.");
  Console.WriteLine("Message: {0}", reply.ToString());
}

public object BeforeSendRequest(ref System.ServiceModel.Channels.Message request, IClientChannel channel)
{
  Console.WriteLine("IClientMessageInspector.BeforeSendRequest called.");
  return null;
}

The following code example shows how to use an System.ServiceModel.Description.IEndpointBehavior to insert the client message inspector in the client endpoint.

C#

#region IEndpointBehavior Members
public void AddBindingParameters(
  ServiceEndpoint endpoint, BindingParameterCollection bindingParameters
) { return; }

public void ApplyClientBehavior(ServiceEndpoint endpoint, ClientRuntime clientRuntime)
{
  clientRuntime.MessageInspectors.Add(new Inspector());
  foreach (ClientOperation op in clientRuntime.Operations)
    op.ParameterInspectors.Add(new Inspector());
}

public void ApplyDispatchBehavior(ServiceEndpoint endpoint, EndpointDispatcher endpointDispatcher)
{
  endpointDispatcher.DispatchRuntime.MessageInspectors.Add(new Inspector());
  foreach (DispatchOperation op in endpointDispatcher.DispatchRuntime.Operations)
    op.ParameterInspectors.Add(new Inspector());
}

public void Validate(ServiceEndpoint endpoint){ return; }

Finally, the following code example shows how to modify the client configuration file to use the endpoint behavior with a particular endpoint.

  <client>
      <endpoint 
        address="http://localhost:8080/SampleService" 
        behaviorConfiguration="clientInspectorsAdded"

        bindingConfiguration="WSHttpBinding_ISampleService"

Remarks

Implement the IClientMessageInspector interface and add it to the MessageInspectors collection to inspect or modify messages as they pass through a WCF client object. For details, see ClientRuntime.

Methods

AfterReceiveReply(Message, Object)	Enables inspection or modification of a message after a reply message is received but prior to passing it back to the client application.
BeforeSendRequest(Message, IClientChannel)	Enables inspection or modification of a message before a request message is sent to a service.
