| Member name | Description | |

| Input | The message is incoming. | |
| Output | The message is outgoing. |
The direction of a message indicates whether the message is coming into an endpoint or going out from an endpoint. Input is incoming to the server and Output is outgoing from the server. For a basic request/response message pattern, a request is incoming to the server and the response is outgoing from the server. On callbacks from the server to client, however, a request is outgoing from the server and a response is incoming to the server.
Use the MessageDescription(String^, MessageDirection) constructor to specify the direction of a message.
Retrieve the direction of a message using the Direction property.
