IClientChannelSink Interface

Provides required functions and properties for client channel sinks.

Namespace:  System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public interface class IClientChannelSink : IChannelSinkBase

The IClientChannelSink type exposes the following members.

  NameDescription
Public propertyNextChannelSinkGets the next client channel sink in the client sink chain.
Public propertyPropertiesGets a dictionary through which properties on the sink can be accessed. (Inherited from IChannelSinkBase.)
Top

  NameDescription
Public methodAsyncProcessRequestRequests asynchronous processing of a method call on the current sink.
Public methodAsyncProcessResponseRequests asynchronous processing of a response to a method call on the current sink.
Public methodGetRequestStreamReturns the Stream onto which the provided message is to be serialized.
Public methodProcessMessageRequests message processing from the current sink.

Channel sinks provide a plug-in point that allows access to the underlying messages flowing through the channel as well as the stream used by the transport mechanism to send messages to a remote object. Channel sinks are linked together in a chain of channel sink providers and all channel messages flow through this chain of sinks before they are serialized and transported.

The following code example illustrates an implementation of the IClientChannelSink interface.


using namespace System::Runtime::InteropServices;
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Collections;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Runtime::Remoting::Channels;
using namespace System::Runtime::Remoting::Messaging;

[System::Security::Permissions::PermissionSet(System::Security::
   Permissions::SecurityAction::Demand, Name = "FullTrust")]
public ref class ClientSink: public BaseChannelSinkWithProperties, public IClientChannelSink
{
private:

   // This class inherits from BaseChannelSinkWithPropertes
   // to get an implementation of IChannelSinkBase.
   // The next sink in the chain.
   IClientChannelSink^ nextSink;


public:
   property IClientChannelSink^ NextChannelSink 
   {
      virtual IClientChannelSink^ get()
      {
         return (nextSink);
      }
   }

   virtual Stream^ GetRequestStream( IMessage^ message, ITransportHeaders^ requestHeaders )
   {
      // Get the request stream from the next sink in the chain.
      return (nextSink->GetRequestStream( message, requestHeaders ));
   }

   virtual void ProcessMessage( IMessage^ message, ITransportHeaders^ requestHeaders, Stream^ requestStream, [Out]ITransportHeaders^% responseHeaders, [Out]Stream^% responseStream )
   {
      // Print the request message properties.
      Console::WriteLine( "---- Message from the client ----" );
      IDictionary^ dictionary = message->Properties;
      IEnumerator^ myEnum = dictionary->Keys->GetEnumerator();
      while ( myEnum->MoveNext() )
      {
         Object^ key = safe_cast<Object^>(myEnum->Current);
         Console::WriteLine( "{0} = {1}", key, dictionary[ key ] );
      }

      Console::WriteLine( "---------------------------------" );

      // Hand off to the next sink in the chain.
      nextSink->ProcessMessage( message, requestHeaders, requestStream, responseHeaders, responseStream );
   }

   // For synchronous remoting, it is not necessary to implement this method.
   virtual void AsyncProcessRequest( IClientChannelSinkStack^ /*sinkStack*/, IMessage^ /*message*/, ITransportHeaders^ /*requestHeaders*/, Stream^ /*requestStream*/ )
   {
      throw gcnew NotImplementedException;
   }

   virtual void AsyncProcessResponse( IClientResponseChannelSinkStack^ /*sinkStack*/, Object^ /*state*/, ITransportHeaders^ /*responseHeaders*/, Stream^ /*responseStream*/ )
   {
      throw gcnew NotImplementedException;
   }

   property System::Collections::IDictionary^ Properties 
   {
      virtual System::Collections::IDictionary^ get() override
      {
         return (dynamic_cast<BaseChannelSinkWithProperties^>(this))->Properties;
      }
   }

   // Constructor
   ClientSink( IClientChannelSink^ sink )
   {
      if ( sink == nullptr )
            throw gcnew ArgumentNullException( "sink" );

      nextSink = sink;
   }
};
