ICommunicationObject Interface
Defines the contract for the basic state machine for all communication-oriented objects in the system, including channels, the channel managers, factories, listeners, and dispatchers, and service hosts.
Namespace: System.ServiceModel
Assembly: System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)
The ICommunicationObject type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | Abort | Causes a communication object to transition immediately from its current state into the closed state. |
![]() ![]() | BeginClose(AsyncCallback, Object) | Begins an asynchronous operation to close a communication object. |
![]() ![]() | BeginClose(TimeSpan, AsyncCallback, Object) | Begins an asynchronous operation to close a communication object with a specified time-out. |
![]() ![]() | BeginOpen(AsyncCallback, Object) | Begins an asynchronous operation to open a communication object. |
![]() ![]() | BeginOpen(TimeSpan, AsyncCallback, Object) | Begins an asynchronous operation to open a communication object within a specified interval of time. |
![]() ![]() | Close() | Causes a communication object to transition from its current state into the closed state. |
![]() ![]() | Close(TimeSpan) | Causes a communication object to transition from its current state into the closed state. |
![]() ![]() | EndClose | Completes an asynchronous operation to close a communication object. |
![]() ![]() | EndOpen | Completes an asynchronous operation to open a communication object. |
![]() ![]() | Open() | Causes a communication object to transition from the created state into the opened state. |
![]() ![]() | Open(TimeSpan) | Causes a communication object to transition from the created state into the opened state within a specified interval of time. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | Closed | Occurs when the communication object completes its transition from the closing state into the closed state. |
![]() ![]() | Closing | Occurs when the communication object first enters the closing state. |
![]() ![]() | Faulted | Occurs when the communication object first enters the faulted state. |
![]() ![]() | Opened | Occurs when the communication object completes its transition from the opening state into the opened state. |
![]() ![]() | Opening | Occurs when the communication object first enters the opening state. |
The ICommunicationObject interface defines:
A set of open, close, and abort methods for initiating state transitions:
Asynchronous versions of the open and close methods:
A set of events that provides notifications of state transitions:
A common State property for inspecting the state of an object.
