DiscoveryClientBindingElement Class
A binding element that can be added to a WCF client application to take advantage of the Discovery client channel. The Discovery client channel allows a WCF client application to access a discoverable service without knowing the endpoint address in advance.
System.ServiceModel.Channels.BindingElement
System.ServiceModel.Discovery.DiscoveryClientBindingElement
Assembly: System.ServiceModel.Discovery (in System.ServiceModel.Discovery.dll)
The DiscoveryClientBindingElement type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | DiscoveryClientBindingElement() | Initializes a new instance of the DiscoveryClientBindingElement class with default values. |
| DiscoveryClientBindingElement(DiscoveryEndpointProvider, FindCriteria) | Initializes a new instance of the DiscoveryClientBindingElement class with the specified endpoint provider and service finding criteria. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| DiscoveryEndpointProvider | Gets the discovery endpoint provider. |
| FindCriteria | Gets or sets the find criteria. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| BuildChannelFactory<TChannel> | Initializes a channel factory for producing channels of a specific type from the binding context. (Overrides BindingElement.BuildChannelFactory<TChannel>(BindingContext).) |
| BuildChannelListener<TChannel> | Building a channel listener is not supported by the Discovery client channel. This method can be overridden to initialize a channel listener to accept channels of a specified type from the binding context. (Overrides BindingElement.BuildChannelListener<TChannel>(BindingContext).) |
| CanBuildChannelFactory<TChannel> | Returns a value that indicates whether the current binding can build a channel factory stack on the client. (Overrides BindingElement.CanBuildChannelFactory<TChannel>(BindingContext).) |
| CanBuildChannelListener<TChannel> | Because building a channel listener is not supported by the Discovery client channel, this method always returns false. It may be extended to return a value that indicates whether the binding element can build a listener for a specific type of channel. (Overrides BindingElement.CanBuildChannelListener<TChannel>(BindingContext).) |
| Clone | Creates a copy of the binding element. (Overrides BindingElement.Clone().) |
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetProperty<T> | Returns an object of the requested type, if present in the binding stack. (Overrides BindingElement.GetProperty<T>(BindingContext).) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| DiscoveryEndpointAddress | A static temporary address that acts as a placeholder until the actual service address is resolved. |
The Discovery client channel is used by creating a custom binding element and adding a DiscoveryClientBindingElement to the top of the binding stack. For more information about the Discovery client channel, see Using the Discovery Client Channel.
