IContractBehavior.ApplyClientBehavior Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Implements a modification or extension of the client across a contract.

Namespace: System.ServiceModel.Description
Assembly: System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Sub ApplyClientBehavior ( _
    contractDescription As ContractDescription, _
    endpoint As ServiceEndpoint, _
    clientRuntime As ClientRuntime _
)

void ApplyClientBehavior(
    ContractDescription contractDescription,
    ServiceEndpoint endpoint,
    ClientRuntime clientRuntime
)

Parameters

contractDescription
Type: System.ServiceModel.Description.ContractDescription
The contract description for which the extension is intended.

endpoint
Type: System.ServiceModel.Description.ServiceEndpoint
The endpoint.

clientRuntime
Type: System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.ClientRuntime
The client runtime.

Remarks

Implement the ApplyClientBehavior method to view, modify, or add custom extensions to the client runtime across all messages or for one specific operation. For details about what customizations you can do with a client run-time object, see ClientRuntime and ClientOperation.

This method is called once for each endpoint that uses the specified service contract.

Because other behaviors may have already added or removed some operations from the runtime, there is no guarantee that there are the same number of operations in the description as there are ClientOperation objects in the Operations property.
