Remarks

Use this attribute to apply policy to a Web service or Web service client.

For Web service clients, the policy can be applied using the PolicyAttribute attribute or using the SetPolicy method. For more information about defining the policy in a policy file and then applying the policy using the PolicyAttribute attribute, see How to: Secure a Web Service Using a Policy File. For more information about defining the policy in code and then applying the policy using the PolicyAttribute attribute, see How to: Secure a Web Service Without Using a Policy File.
