System.ServiceModel Namespaces
.NET Framework 4.5
The System.ServiceModel namespaces contain the types necessary to build Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) service and client applications.
| Namespace | Description |
|---|---|
| System.ServiceModel | Provides classes related to the service model. |
| System.ServiceModel.Activation | Provides classes related to service model activation. |
| System.ServiceModel.Activation.Configuration | Represents the configuration settings for the SMSvcHost.exe tool.This namespace represents the configuration elements that can be configured in the SMSvcHost.exe.config file. Specifically, it includes all machine-wide settings that need to be configured. |
| System.ServiceModel.Activities | The System.ServiceModel.Activities namespace contains classes that allow you to send messages to and receive messages from workflows. These activities are used when writing workflow services and allow you to define how messages are sent and received in a workflow. |
| System.ServiceModel.Activities.Activation | The System.ServiceModel.Activities.Activation namespace contains the WorkflowServiceHostFactory that provides instances of WorkflowServiceHost in managed hosting environments where the host instance is created dynamically in response to incoming messages. |
| System.ServiceModel.Activities.Configuration | The System.ServiceModel.Activities.Configuration namespace contains classes used to configure workflow services. These classes allow you to apply service and endpoint behaviors and configure tracking. |
| System.ServiceModel.Activities.Description | The System.ServiceModel.Activities.Description namespace contains classes that enable you to control various behaviors related to workflow services. |
| System.ServiceModel.Activities.Presentation | Provides classes related to service model presentation activities. |
| System.ServiceModel.Activities.Presentation.Factories | Contains factories that create Receive/SendReply and Send/ReceiveReply activity pairs. |
| System.ServiceModel.Activities.Tracking | The System.ServiceModel.Activities.Tracking namespace contains classes used to create tracking records for a workflow service instance. Tracking records are created by created by the workflow runtime during the execution of a workflow instance, and are sent to registered tracking participants. |
| System.ServiceModel.Activities.Tracking.Configuration | The System.ServiceModel.Activities.Tracking.Configuration namespace contains classes used to configure tracking for service hosted workflows. These classes allow you to specify the tracking information you want your workflow service to generate. |
| System.ServiceModel.Channels | Provides classes related to service model channels. |
| System.ServiceModel.ComIntegration | Defines classes needed for integration with COM applications. |
| System.ServiceModel.Configuration | Provides classes related to service model configuration. |
| System.ServiceModel.Description | Provides classes related to the service model description. |
| System.ServiceModel.Diagnostics | The System.ServiceModel.Diagnostics namespace contains an enumeration that is used to configure performance counters for diagnostics purposes. |
| System.ServiceModel.Discovery | The System.ServiceModel.Discovery namespace contains the classes required for the creation and use of discoverable services. These classes implement the WS-Discovery protocol for Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). |
| System.ServiceModel.Discovery.Configuration | The System.ServiceModel.Discovery.Configuration namespace contains classes that allow you to configure discovery settings in a configuration file. |
| System.ServiceModel.Discovery.Version11 | The System.ServiceModel.Discovery.Version11 namespace contains the classes required for the creation and use of discoverable services. These classes implement the WS-Discovery version 1.1 protocol for Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). |
| System.ServiceModel.Discovery.VersionApril2005 | The System.ServiceModel.Discovery.VersionApril2005 namespace contains the classes required for the creation and use of discoverable services. These classes implement the April 2005 version of the WS-Discovery protocol for Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). |
| System.ServiceModel.Discovery.VersionCD1 | The System.ServiceModel.Discovery.VersionCD1 namespace contains the classes required for the creation and use of discoverable services. These classes implement the Committee Draft 1 version of the WS-Discovery protocol for Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). |
| System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher | Provides classes related to dispatching the service model. |
| System.ServiceModel.Internal | The System.ServiceModel.Internal namespace contains internal classes used by the infrastructure. |
| System.ServiceModel.MsmqIntegration | The System.ServiceModel.MsmqIntegration namespace contains classes that relate to Microsoft Message Queuing Service (MSMQ) integration, which allows communication between MSMQ applications and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) applications. |
| System.ServiceModel.PeerResolvers | The System.ServiceModel.PeerResolvers namespace contains classes that allow developers to customize and extend the Peer Name Resolution Protocol service. |
| System.ServiceModel.Persistence | The System.ServiceModel.Persistence namespace contains classes that allow workflow services (WCF services implemented as workflows) to be persisted into the persistence store. |
| System.ServiceModel.Routing | This namespace contains classes that are used to configure and manage the WCF RoutingService. |
| System.ServiceModel.Routing.Configuration | This namespace contains configuration classes that are used by the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) infrastructure to convert XML into Common Language Runtime (CLR) types. You can also manipulate these classes directly for extensibility purposes. |
| System.ServiceModel.Security | The System.ServiceModel.Security namespace deals with general security-related topics, for example, SecurityAlgorithmSuite. |
| System.ServiceModel.Security.Tokens | Deals with security tokens and certificates. |
| System.ServiceModel.ServiceMoniker40 | This API supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.This class provides the supporting implementation for the COM service moniker and should not be used directly. |
| System.ServiceModel.Syndication | Provides classes related to service model syndication. |
| System.ServiceModel.Web | Provides classes related to using the service model on the web. |
| System.ServiceModel.XamlIntegration | Provides utility classes to enable the serialization of Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) entities to XAML. |
