.NET Framework Class Library

IChannelFactory<(Of <(TChannel>)>) Interface

Defines the interface that must be implemented by channel factories that create type-specific channels.

Namespace: System.ServiceModel.Channels
Assembly: System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

Public Interface IChannelFactory(Of TChannel) _
    Inherits IChannelFactory, ICommunicationObject

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As IChannelFactory(Of TChannel)

public interface IChannelFactory<TChannel> : IChannelFactory, 
    ICommunicationObject

Visual C++

generic<typename TChannel>
public interface class IChannelFactory : IChannelFactory, 
    ICommunicationObject

JScript

JScript does not support generic types or methods.

Type Parameters

TChannel: The type of channel that the channel factory creates.

Remarks

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.
