I started lately learning WCF and going step by step with the concepts. However, today I was stuck by how to generate a proxy client class for a Host application that exposes a Service with a TCP endpoint.

Assume in the App.config configuration file, in the Host application (Console Application), you have the following configuration:

    <system.serviceModel>
        <services>
            <service name="WCFFromScratch.Service1" behaviorConfiguration="serviceBehavior">       
                <endpoint address="Service1" binding="netTcpBinding" contract="WCFFromScratch.IService1" />
                <endpoint contract="IMetadataExchange" binding="mexTcpBinding" address="mexTcp" />
        <host>
                    <baseAddresses>
                        <add baseAddress="net.tcp://localhost:9000"/>
                    </baseAddresses>
                </host>
            </service>
        </services>
        <behaviors>
            <serviceBehaviors>
                <behavior name="serviceBehavior">
                    <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
                </behavior>
            </serviceBehaviors>
        </behaviors>
    </system.serviceModel>

The first important thing to notice in the above is the line in bold. Using the *mexTcpBinding* enables exposing meta data for the TCP endpoint and hence, using now the Svcutil.exe as follows:

c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC>svcutil /d:C:\ /o:serviceProxy.cs /config:app.config net.tcp://localhost:9000/mexTcp

The above is enough to generate a new proxy client class named *serviceProxy.cs* located in the *C:\* drive.

Notice how I used the *mexTcp* address, which is the one that exposes meta-data for the SvcUtil in order to be able to generate the proxy.

For more information on publishing meta-data for a service, check the following: How to: Publish Metadata for a Service Using a Configuration File

Hope this helps,
Regards

The title of this post might seem a little bit awkward, so I will explain briefly the topic of this
post then go directly to some sample codes.

When using the Microsoft Unity Block (URL) and register two type mappings for the same Interface each specificed by a name, and then
you want to resolve an Object that is dependent on an instance of the above Interface, you need to resolve one of the above two implementations
of the Interface, then resolve your Object that is dependent on an instance of the interface (both Constructor and Property Dependency Injection).

Here is a sample code to illustrate the above:

// Initialize a new Container
IUnityContainer container = new UnityContainer();

// Register the ITesting interface to map to Testing1 class that
// implements the interface and give this mapping a name "Testing1"
container.RegisterType<ITesting, Testing1>("Testing1");

// Register the ITesting interface to map to Testing1 class that
// implements the interface and give this mapping a name "Testing2"
container.RegisterType<ITesting, Testing2>("Testing2");

// Get an instance of the ITesting mapping object, in this case Testing1 class
ITesting iTestingObj = container.Resolve<ITesting>("Testing1");

// Resolve Testing class that has a constructor
// dependency injection on ITesting interface
Testing testingObj = container.Resolve<Testing>();


Without first of all resolving an instance of the ITesting interface based on
one of the above registered type mappings, resolving Testing class and its dependent interface
would not have worked.

Hope this post helps!
