Defines the interface that must be implemented by channel factories that create type-specific channels.
(in System.ServiceModel.dll)
'Usage
Dim instance As IChannelFactory(Of TChannel)
'Declaration
Public Interface IChannelFactory(Of TChannel) _
Inherits IChannelFactory, ICommunicationObject
Type Parameters
- TChannel
The type of channel that the channel factory creates.
Implementing the IChannelFactory<(Of <(TChannel>)>) contract allows users to create multiple channels of a given type without having to specify the channel type each time. In other words, defining the channel type as a generic parameter for the channel factory implementing the IChannelFactory<(Of <(TChannel>)>) interface means that it is not necessary to pass the type into the CreateChannel methods. If users want to create different channel types, they can create additional channel factories for each type of channel required. The CreateChannel(EndpointAddress, Uri) overload allows you to distinguish the address to which the message is initially sent from the ultimate destination. For a discussion of addressing, see the Addresses topic.
