Remarks

The filter table is a core component of the filter engine. The primary use of the filter engine in Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is to match application logic to messages by finding all the filters that match a message.

A filter table allows multiple filters to be matched against a single message more efficiently than they can be matched separately. A filter table associates filter data with filters. The table is a collection of key-value pairs, where the key is the MessageFilter, and the value is the associated filter data. Filter data can be any data of the type specified in the generic parameter and can be used to specify what actions to take if a message is matched by a filter in the table.

Filter table entries can be accessed using the IDictionary<TKey,TValue> functionality that IMessageFilterTable<TFilterData> inherits.

Note that a filter instance can only be added to a given IMessageFilterTable<TFilterData> once. To add multiple instances of this filter to the same filter table, use a filter constructor to create additional instances.

A filter matches a message when the message satisfies the query criteria of the filter. There are four overloaded matching methods. The data returned is either the filter data or the MessageFilter objects themselves. This data is returned whether multiple matches are allowed or only a single match. The following table shows this information for each overload.

Method Name	Matches	Data Returned
GetMatchingValue	Single	FilterData
GetMatchingFilter	Single	MessageFilter
GetMatchingValues	Multiple	FilterData
GetMatchingFilters	Multiple	MessageFilter objects

Each method contains two overloads. The difference between the two overloads is that one takes a Message parameter and is not permitted to examine the contents of the body; the other takes a MessageBuffer parameter and can examine any part of the message. If you call a method with the message parameter, and the filter table contains a filter that examines the content of the message body, an exception is thrown. If you are unsure about the filters in a table, call the overload that takes a message buffer.

Message headers are automatically buffered and can be inspected by a filter without being consumed. But if the body is to be inspected by a filter, then the entire message must be buffered because an unbuffered message body is consumed by a query and its contents destroyed.

Descendants<T>(IEnumerable<T>)	Returns a collection of elements that contains the descendant elements of every element and document in the source collection.
Elements<T>(IEnumerable<T>, XName)	Returns a filtered collection of the child elements of every element and document in the source collection. Only elements that have a matching XName are included in the collection.
Elements<T>(IEnumerable<T>)	Returns a collection of the child elements of every element and document in the source collection.
InDocumentOrder<T>(IEnumerable<T>)	Returns a collection of nodes that contains all nodes in the source collection, sorted in document order.
Nodes<T>(IEnumerable<T>)	Returns a collection of the child nodes of every document and element in the source collection.
Remove<T>(IEnumerable<T>)	Removes every node in the source collection from its parent node.

Thread Safety

Filter tables are thread-safe with respect to matching operations, but are not thread-safe with respect to modification. Threads that access a filter table should be synchronized by the ReaderWriterLock or similar locking semantic. This lock allows multiple reads of a filter table (for example, a match operation) to run simultaneously, but in order to write to a filter table (for example, adding a filter), a thread must wait for an exclusive lock.

All compilation is done when filters are added to the table. If you create a filter table in advance, and never edit it, locking is not necessary during a match.
