MetadataResolver
Examples
The following code example shows the use of the MetadataResolver class to return metadata as a collection of ServiceEndpoint objects that are then used to connect to a service instance.
// Get the endpoints for such a service
ServiceEndpointCollection endpoints = MetadataResolver.Resolve(typeof(SampleServiceClient), metaAddress);
Console.WriteLine("Trying all available WS-Transfer metadata endpoints...");
foreach (ServiceEndpoint point in endpoints)
{
if (point != null)
{
// Create a new wcfClient using retrieved endpoints.
wcfClient = new SampleServiceClient(point.Binding, point.Address);
Console.WriteLine(
wcfClient.SampleMethod("Client used the "
+ point.Address.ToString()
+ " address.")
);
wcfClient.Close();
}
}
The following code example shows the use of the MetadataResolver to download and return metadata as a collection of ServiceEndpoint objects using an HTTP GET request rather than WS-Transfer.
// Get the endpoints for such a service using Http/Get request
endpoints = MetadataResolver.Resolve(typeof(SampleServiceClient), httpGetMetaAddress.Uri, MetadataExchangeClientMode.HttpGet);
Client.WriteParameters(endpoints);
ISampleService serviceChannel;
Console.WriteLine(
"\r\nTrying all endpoints from HTTP/Get and with direct service channels...");
foreach (ServiceEndpoint point in endpoints)
{
if (point != null)
{
ChannelFactory<ISampleService> factory = new ChannelFactory<ISampleService>(point.Binding);
factory.Endpoint.Address = point.Address;
serviceChannel = factory.CreateChannel();
Console.WriteLine("Client used the " + point.Address.ToString() + " address.");
Console.WriteLine(
serviceChannel.SampleMethod(
"Client used the " + point.Address.ToString() + " address."
)
);
factory.Close();
}
}
Remarks
Use the MetadataResolver class to quickly import endpoints for a service from metadata. This class downloads and converts metadata into ServiceEndpoint objects. To download metadata and process that information as a System.ServiceModel.Description.MetadataSet, see System.ServiceModel.Description.MetadataExchangeClient.
Methods
BeginResolve(IEnumerable<ContractDescription>, EndpointAddress, AsyncCallback, Object) |
Begins an asynchronous call that resolves a metadata address into the ServiceEndpoint objects for the specified contracts, using the specified address and asynchronous state and delegate. |
BeginResolve(IEnumerable<ContractDescription>, EndpointAddress, MetadataExchangeClient, AsyncCallback, Object) |
Begins an asynchronous call that resolves a metadata address into the ServiceEndpoint objects for the specified contracts, using the specified address, MetadataExchangeClient, asynchronous state and delegate. |
BeginResolve(IEnumerable<ContractDescription>, Uri, MetadataExchangeClientMode, AsyncCallback, Object) |
Begins an asynchronous call that resolves a metadata address into the ServiceEndpoint objects for the specified contracts, using the specified address, MetadataExchangeClientMode value, asynchronous state and delegate. |
BeginResolve(IEnumerable<ContractDescription>, Uri, MetadataExchangeClientMode, MetadataExchangeClient, AsyncCallback, Object) |
Begins an asynchronous call that resolves a metadata address into the ServiceEndpoint objects for the specified contracts, using the specified address, MetadataExchangeClient, MetadataExchangeClientMode, asynchronous state, and delegate. |
BeginResolve(Type, EndpointAddress, AsyncCallback, Object) |
