<activated> Element (Client Instance)
This topic is specific to a legacy technology that is retained for backward compatibility with existing applications and is not recommended for new development. Distributed applications should now be developed using the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).
Contains client-activated objects that a client application consumes. The <client> element must have a url attribute specified if there is an <activated> element specified, or an exception will be thrown. This element may occur in an application configuration file, machine configuration file.
