ServiceContractAttribute.Namespace Property
Gets or sets the namespace of the <portType> element in Web Services Description Language (WSDL).
Namespace: System.ServiceModel
Assembly: System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)
Property Value
Type: System.StringThe WSDL namespace of the <portType> element. The default value is "http://tempuri.org".
The following code example shows how to use the Name and Namespace properties of the ServiceContractAttribute to set the corresponding values in WSDL.
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ServiceModel; using System.Text; namespace Microsoft.WCF.Documentation { [ServiceContract( Name="HelloWorld", Namespace="http://Microsoft.WCF.Documentation" )] public interface ISampleService{ [OperationContract] string SampleMethod(string msg); } class SampleService : ISampleService { #region ISampleService Members public string SampleMethod(string msg) { return "The service greets you: " + msg; } #endregion } }
The following code example shows an Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) client for the preceding service that imported WSDL using the Service Model Metadata Utility Tool (Svcutil.exe). This client uses a HelloWorldClient client rather than a SampleServiceClient client (as is the case with the sample in the Example section of ServiceContractAttribute).
using System; using System.ServiceModel; using System.ServiceModel.Channels; public class Client { public static void Main() { // Picks up configuration from the config file. HelloWorldClient wcfClient = new HelloWorldClient(); try { // Making calls. Console.WriteLine("Enter the greeting to send: "); string greeting = Console.ReadLine(); Console.WriteLine("The service responded: " + wcfClient.SampleMethod(greeting)); // Done with service. wcfClient.Close(); Console.WriteLine("Done!"); } catch (TimeoutException timeProblem) { Console.WriteLine("The service operation timed out. " + timeProblem.Message); wcfClient.Abort(); } catch (CommunicationException commProblem) { Console.WriteLine("There was a communication problem. " + commProblem.Message); wcfClient.Abort(); } finally { Console.WriteLine("Press ENTER to exit:"); Console.ReadLine(); } } }
