DiscoveryClientBindingElement Class
A binding element that can be added to a WCF client application to take advantage of the Discovery client channel. The Discovery client channel allows a WCF client application to access a discoverable service without knowing the endpoint address in advance.

| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | DiscoveryClientBindingElement() | Initializes a new instance of the DiscoveryClientBindingElement class with default values. |
| DiscoveryClientBindingElement(DiscoveryEndpointProvider^, FindCriteria^) | Initializes a new instance of the DiscoveryClientBindingElement class with the specified endpoint provider and service finding criteria. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | DiscoveryEndpointProvider | Gets the discovery endpoint provider. |
| FindCriteria | Gets or sets the find criteria. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| BuildChannelFactory<TChannel>(BindingContext^) | Initializes a channel factory for producing channels of a specific type from the binding context.(Overrides BindingElement::BuildChannelFactory<TChannel>(BindingContext^).) |
| BuildChannelListener<TChannel>(BindingContext^) | Building a channel listener is not supported by the Discovery client channel. This method can be overridden to initialize a channel listener to accept channels of a specified type from the binding context.(Overrides BindingElement::BuildChannelListener<TChannel>(BindingContext^).) |
| CanBuildChannelFactory<TChannel>(BindingContext^) | Returns a value that indicates whether the current binding can build a channel factory stack on the client.(Overrides BindingElement::CanBuildChannelFactory<TChannel>(BindingContext^).) |
| CanBuildChannelListener<TChannel>(BindingContext^) | Because building a channel listener is not supported by the Discovery client channel, this method always returns false. It may be extended to return a value that indicates whether the binding element can build a listener for a specific type of channel.(Overrides BindingElement::CanBuildChannelListener<TChannel>(BindingContext^).) |
| Clone() | Creates a copy of the binding element.(Overrides BindingElement::Clone().) |
| Equals(Object^) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode() | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetProperty<T>(BindingContext^) | Returns an object of the requested type, if present in the binding stack.(Overrides BindingElement::GetProperty<T>(BindingContext^).) |
| GetType() | |
| ToString() | Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
  | DiscoveryEndpointAddress | A static temporary address that acts as a placeholder until the actual service address is resolved. |
The Discovery client channel is used by creating a custom binding element and adding a DiscoveryClientBindingElement to the top of the binding stack. For more information about the Discovery client channel, see Using the Discovery Client Channel.
