Other versions are also available for the following:

.NET Framework Class Library for Silverlight

ClientBase<(Of <(TChannel>)>) Class

Provides the base implementation used to create Silverlight version 3 client objects (proxies) that can call services.

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

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

Public MustInherit Class ClientBase(Of TChannel As Class) _
    Implements ICommunicationObject

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As ClientBase(Of TChannel)

public abstract class ClientBase<TChannel> : ICommunicationObject
where TChannel : class

TChannel: The channel used to connect to the service that identifies the type of service contract encapsulated by this proxy.

Remarks

Extend the ClientBase<(Of <(TChannel>)>) class to create a custom Silverlight 3 client object (proxy) that can be used to connect to a service.

The ClientBase<(Of <(TChannel>)>) class can be used quickly and easily by developers who prefer objects to the use of the interfaces and the System.ServiceModel..::.ChannelFactory<(Of <(TChannel>)>) class. In all cases this class wraps or exposes the methods and functionality of the System.ServiceModel..::.ChannelFactory<(Of <(TChannel>)>) class and the System.ServiceModel..::.IClientChannel interface.
