Remarks

You get a request context from an IReplyChannel. Each RequestContext encapsulates the information required to reply to the request, so that you do not have to block on the channel when waiting for each request message to receive a reply.

In the request/reply model, the RequestContext object is the link between the request that comes in and the reply that goes out. When the server receives a request, it provides a RequestContext instance that represents the request to the channel. The request context contains the original request message among other useful properties. This request context is then stashed inside the OperationContext for retrieval by your service. You typically use the Current property to access the request of the current operation.

The value of the RequestContext can be nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). Because the role of the request context is to link requests to replies, it does not make sense to have a request context when you do not have a reply, and so in this case the context is set to nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). For a one-way operation on top of the request/reply model, the server receives requests but does not send back a response to the client. So if the RequestContext is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) unexpectedly, check first whether the operation contract is IsOneWay.
