How to Configure Multiple Bindings in WCF

How to configure multiple bindings in WCF

Suppose our client have multiple applications like windows and web application. Now we want to expose same service to the multiple applications, so we need to configure multiple binding in web.config file. BasicHttpBinding for web application and netTcpBinding for windows application. Remember we can not use netTcpBinding for web application. Here we use the mexHttpBinding binding for both applications. mexHttpBinding binding is used to expose the metadata to client side. If we did not put it in web.config file it show an error (Only VS 2010 and below).

<endpoint address="Web1"

binding ="basicHttpBinding"

contract ="IService">

</identity>

</endpoint>

<endpoint address="Web"

binding ="mexHttpBinding"

contract ="IMetadataExchange">

</endpoint>

<endpoint address=""

binding ="netTcpBinding"

contract ="IService" bindingConfiguration="InsecureTcp">

</endpoint>

<endpoint address="Windows"

binding ="mexTcpBinding"

contract ="IMetadataExchange">

</endpoint>

</service>

</services>

No you can not dothis with single interface, you need to create one service interface for each set of methods you want to expose. You can define a interface for first 2 methods and expose that service to all those clients who can access those 2 methods. Rest you can define in second service interface with another 1 methods, and have a second service implementation class that implements the first and the second interface for the total of 3 methods.
