Gets or sets the maximum size of any buffer pools used by the transport.
Public Overridable Property MaxBufferPoolSize As Long
Dim instance As TransportBindingElement Dim value As Long value = instance.MaxBufferPoolSize instance.MaxBufferPoolSize = value
public virtual long MaxBufferPoolSize { get; set; }
public: virtual property long long MaxBufferPoolSize { long long get (); void set (long long value); }
public function get MaxBufferPoolSize () : long public function set MaxBufferPoolSize (value : long)
Many parts of WCF use buffers. Creating and destroying buffers each time they are used is expensive, and garbage collection for buffers is also expensive.
With buffer pools, you can take a buffer from the pool, use it, and return it to the pool once you are done. Thus the overhead in creating and destroying buffers is avoided. The downside is that there is an increase in memory usage because your buffers are not getting garbage collected. If the MaxBufferPoolSize is set to 0, nobuffers are returned to the pool, and instead garbage collection begins.
