Learning WCF Chapter2 Service Contracts

A service contract describes
the operations supported by a service,
the message exchange pattern they use,
and the format of each message.

The service contract is also the main driver for generating a service description.
A valid WCF service implements at least one service contract.
The following attributes play an important role in defining service contracts:
ServiceContractAttribute, OperationContractAttribute,and MessageParameterAttribute.

Collectively,these attributes provide control over the way messages are formatted.
In this section,the first thing you’ll do is complete a lab that exercises each of these attributes.
Following the lab,I’ll summarize the features of each of these attributes and their roles in service contract design.
In the process,I’ll also cover other related concepts such as:
• How service contracts map to WSDL elements
• Service contract design
• Operations signatures and messages
• Versioning scenarios

Lab: Designing a Service Contract

In this lab,you will begin with an existing solution that includes three projects: a service,a host,and a client.
The solution includes a working implementation of a very simple service contract,
and you will edit this implementation to exercise more control over the service contract to control the resulting service description.
In the process, you’ll also test service contract version tolerance.

Exploring service contract compatibility
In the first part of this lab,you’ll modify an existing service contract to use an explicit contract name and namespace
while testing compatibility between proxy and service as changes are made.
1. Start by opening the solution for this lab: <YourLearningWCFPath>\Labs\Chapter2\ServiceContracts\ServiceContracts.sln.

2. Test the solution first to see that it works.
Compile the solution and run the Host project followed by the WinClient project.
From the WinClient application interface,click each button to test the two operations exposed by the service contract: Operation1( ) and Operation2( ).

3. Review how the service you just tested is implemented.
Go to the BusinessServices project and open IServiceA.cs. Example 2-3 shows the service contract,which defines two operations.

Learning WCF Chapter2 Service Description

While messaging protocols are responsible for message serialization formats,there must be a way to capture the protocols required to communicate between clients and services. In Chapter 1,you worked with WSDL documents,which describe the requirements

Learning WCF Chapter2 Data Contracts

A data contract describes how CLR types map to XSD schema definitions. Data contracts are the preferred way to enable serialization of complex types included in operation signatures as parameters or return values. You create a data contract by applyi

So far I’ve talked about the standards behind it all,but in fact WCF hides most of this from the developer by providing a programming interface for designing service contracts and controlling the message format. Application messaging requirementsare
