Announcing Online Events in WCF Service

Question Arises: What is Announcement Service in WCF?

Endpoints can be announcement as a collection which is available for the client who is consuming the service will be able to listen when comes online/offline Events. Let's get this concept implemented such that we will have a better idea on this

So, let's get it started off now.

The Complete Code of IService1.cs looks like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.Text;
namespace WcfService2
{
// NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the interface name "IService1" in both code and config file together.
[ServiceContract]
public interface IService1
{
[OperationContract]
string Hello(string val);
[OperationContract]
string Bye(string val);
}
}

The Complete Code of Service1.svc.cs looks like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.Text;

namespace WcfService2
{
// NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the class name "Service1" in code, svc and config file together.
public class Service1 : IService1
{

public string Hello(string val)
{
return val;
}

public string Bye(string val)
{
return val;
}
}
}

The Complete Code of Web.Config looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>

<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
</system.web>
<system.serviceModel>

<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true. Set to false before deployment to avoid disclosing exception information -->
