ChannelFactory<TChannel> Class
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
A factory that creates channels of different types that are used by clients to send messages to variously configured service endpoints.
System.ServiceModel.Channels::CommunicationObject
System.ServiceModel::ChannelFactory
System.ServiceModel::ChannelFactory<TChannel>
