Today, in this article let's see how to create a multiple endpoints using WCF
Service and later we will try to host it on to a web application.
Question Arises: What is an Endpoint?
The WCF Service can be utilized by any client using Endpoint. The Endpoint
includes 3 main things: Address, Binding and Contract. Endpoint uses these three
main things to communicate across the clients and consume the service.
Question Arises: What are Address, Bindings and Contract in WCF ?
- Address: Basically specifies URL link for which client can consume the WCF service.
- Binding: Describes type of protocol is used to communicate with client
- Contract: Specifies process of utilizing interface names and consume the service.
So, we are good to go and we don't get hold of
much about theory part. We will try to implement this concept so that we can get
more clear and real time idea. But this time we will try to use multiple
endpoints and let's see how the implementation scenario carries on.
Firstly create some service contract and operation contract.
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
Endpoints
{
// 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]
double Add(double
a, double b);
[OperationContract]
double Sub(double
a, double b);
[OperationContract]
double Mul(double
a, double b);
[OperationContract]
double Div(double
a, double b);
}
}
The Complete Code of Service1.svc 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
Endpoints
{
// 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 double
Add(double a, double
b)
{
return a + b;
}
public double
Sub(double a, double
b)
{
return a - b;
}
public double
Mul(double a, double
b)
{
return a * b;
}
public double
Div(double a, double
b)
{
return a / b;
}
}
}
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>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior
name="Application">
<!--
To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false and
remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment
-->
<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
-->
<serviceDebug
includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment
multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true"
/>
<services>
<service
name="Endpoints.Service1"
behaviorConfiguration="Application">
<endpoint
name="addBinding"
address="/MyAddBinding"
binding="basicHttpBinding"
contract="Endpoints.IService1"></endpoint>
<endpoint
name="subBinding"
address="/MySubBinding"
binding="basicHttpBinding"
contract="Endpoints.IService1"></endpoint>
<endpoint
name="mulBinding"
address="/MyMulBinding"
binding="wsHttpBinding"
contract="Endpoints.IService1"></endpoint>
<endpoint
name="divBinding"
address="/MyDivBinding"
binding="wsHttpBinding"
contract="Endpoints.IService1"></endpoint>
<endpoint
address="mex"
binding="mexHttpBinding"
contract="IMetadataExchange"></endpoint>
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add
baseAddress="http://localhost:50236/Service1.svc"/>
</baseAddresses>
</host>
</service>
</services>
</system.serviceModel>
<system.webServer>
<modules
runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
The service links looks like this:
http://localhost:50236/Service1.svc
Later we will try to add new web Application and we will integrate it into our
existing solution file.
The Complete Code of WebForm1.aspx looks like this:
<%@
Page Language="C#"
AutoEventWireup="true"
CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs"
Inherits="EndpointvsEndpoints.WebForm1"
%>

Have you attempted to create any kind of RTM app with WCF?
