In this article I will clarify about the Binding and Behavior of WCF. It is one of the principal of WCF. Binding represents how the client can communicate with the service.
Assume we need to make the service for two clients , first client will access SOAP using HTTP and second client access Binary using TCP. Utilizing webservice it is impossible yet utilizing WCF we can do by including additional endpoint in the configuration file. Example: in web.config.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" strict="false" explicit="true"targetFramework="4.0" />
</system.web>
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="MathService"
behaviorConfiguration="MathServiceBehavior">
<endpoint
address="http://localhost:9080/Service1.svc"contract="IMathService"
binding="wsHttpBinding"/>
<endpoint address="net.tcp://localhost:8080/MyService/MathService.svc"
contract="IMathService"
binding="netTcpBinding"/>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior>
<!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false and remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment -->
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true. Set to false before deployment to avoid disclosing exception information -->
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true"/>
</system.serviceModel> <system.webServer>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
</system.webServer>
And now, I’ll tell you about the Behaviour at the service level. In the service behavior, I have mention the servieMetadata node with attribute httGetEnabled='true'. This attribute will specifies the publication of the service metadata. Similarly we can add more behavior to the service. <system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="MathService"
behaviorConfiguration="MathServiceBehavior">
<endpoint address="" contract="IMathService"
binding="wsHttpBinding"/>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="MathServiceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="True"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
</system.serviceModel>
