Examples

This example shows how to create a NetTcpBinding, setting the security mode and transport credential type.

NetTcpBinding binding = new NetTcpBinding();
binding.Security.Mode = SecurityMode.Transport;
binding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = TcpClientCredentialType.Certificate;

Remarks

The NetTcpBinding generates a run-time communication stack by default, which uses transport security, TCP for message delivery, and a binary message encoding. This binding is an appropriate Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) system-provided choice for communicating over an Intranet.

The default configuration for the NetTcpBinding is faster than the configuration provided by the WSHttpBinding, but it is intended only for WCF communication. The security behavior is configurable using the optional securityMode parameter in the constructor. The use of WS-ReliableMessaging is configurable using the optional reliableSessionEnabled parameter. But reliable messaging is off by default. More generally, the HTTP system-provided bindings such as WSHttpBinding and BasicHttpBinding are configured to turn things on by default, whereas the NetTcpBinding binding turns things off by default so that you have to opt-in to get support, for example, for one of the WS-* specifications. This means that the default configuration for TCP is faster at exchanging messages between endpoints than that configured for the HTTP bindings by default.

Warning

The NetTcpBinding uses TCP connection pooling based on the service's host DNS name and the port number the service is listening on. This works well when a client makes calls to different services on different ports, or services are hosted in a single process and share a port. If a single client calls multiple services sharing a port that are hosted in different processes, or are WAS/IIS hosted, the client side pooling may lead to problems where a connection to Service A is reused for Service B, resulting in an exception being thrown, the connection aborted, and a new channel created. To avoid this problem, use a CustomBinding and specify a different ConnectionPoolSettings.GroupName for each service the client communicates with.

Constructors

NetTcpBinding()

Initializes a new instance of the NetTcpBinding class.

NetTcpBinding(SecurityMode)

Initializes a new instance of the NetTcpBinding class with the type of security used specified.

NetTcpBinding(SecurityMode, Boolean)

Initializes a new instance of the NetTcpBinding class with the type of security used specified and with a value that indicates whether reliable sessions are explicitly enabled.

NetTcpBinding(String)

Initializes a new instance of the NetTcpBinding class with a specified configuration name.

Properties

MaxBufferSize

Gets or sets a value that specifies the maximum size, in bytes, of the buffer used to store messages in memory.

MaxConnections

Gets or sets a value that controls the maximum number of connections to be pooled for subsequent reuse on the client and the maximum number of connections allowed to be pending dispatch on the server.
