(4) source of service reference in WCF

Q: to add a service reference in WCF, you need to find the service through an address, as shown in the following code:

At the beginning, I was wondering how to find this name (appointmentserviceimepletation) in the service? Where can I define the service name?

I thought about it carefully. In fact, this name is found through the namespace + class name. It has already been set in the configuration file when defining the service:

1   <?  XML version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"  ?> 
 2   <  Configuration  > 
 3  
 4     <  System. Web  > 
 5       < Compilation  Debug  = "True"  Targetframework  = "4.0"   /> 
 6     </  System. Web  > 
 7     <  System. servicemodel  > 
 8       < Services  > 
 9         <  Service  Behaviorconfiguration  = "Appointmentserviceiishost. servicebehavior"  
  10   Name = "com. contoso. appointmentservice. appointmentserviceimplementation"> 
 11           <  Endpoint  Binding = "Wshttpbinding"  Bindingconfiguration  = ""  Name  = "Wshttpbinding"  
  12   Contract  = "Com. contoso. appointmentservice. appointmentservicecontract"   /> 
 13         </  Service  > 
 14      </  Services  > 
 15       <  Behaviors  > 
 16         <  Servicebehaviors  > 
 17           <  Behavior  Name  = "Appointmentserviceiishost. servicebehavior" > 
 18             <  Servicemetadata  Httpgetenabled  = "True"   /> 
 19             <  Servicedebug  Includeexceptiondetailinfaults  = "False"   /> 
 20           </ Behavior  > 
 21         </  Servicebehaviors  > 
 22       </  Behaviors  > 
 23       <  Servicehostingenvironment  Multiplesitebindingsenabled  = "True"  /> 
 24     </  System. servicemodel  > 
 25    <  System. Webserver  > 
 26       <  Modules  Runallmanagedmodulesforallrequests  = "True"  /> 
27     </  System. Webserver  > 
 28    
 29   </  Configuration  > 

The most obvious line is our previous definition. When adding a service reference, only the name is displayed. This class is defined in the agreed class.

 

1 NamespaceCom. contoso. appointmentservice
2{
3Public ClassAppointmentserviceimplementation: iappointmentservicecontract
4{}
5}
 

 

Now I know a little about the principle, but how can I use this reference?

 

Before that, my service has been written, and the running effect is good:

 

 

Execute svcutil.exe according to the method displayed on this page. Two files will be automatically generated: appointmentserviceimplementation. CS and output. config, which are the same as the preceding service description, and then you can call them at the client!
