使用WCF转换旧代码以连接到Web服务

Question

I have a ASMX client application that i am trying to convert to using WCF. So i added a service reference, and it gave me a SoapClient class. My old code was using a class derived from System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtoco l and it had two properites. Url and ClientCertificates . Are there any equivalent of these in this SoaClient class that I get in WCF world ?

Answer 1

The equivalent to the Url property is the endpoint address which you can set through the the constructor of your proxy object, or through the configuration (use the WCF Service Configuration Editor to edit the config). For ClientCertificates, use the ClientCredentials property of your proxy object.

Here is some sample code which will get you started.

BasicHttpBinding basicHttpBinding = new BasicHttpBinding(BasicHttpSecurityMode.Transport);
basicHttpBinding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.Certificate;
System.ServiceModel.Channels.Binding binding = basicHttpBinding;
MyServiceSoapClient myService =
    new MyServiceSoapClient(binding, new EndpointAddress(url));
myService.ClientCredentials.ClientCertificate.Certificate = new X509Certificate2(Certificate);

All of this can also be done through configuration rather than code, using the WCF Service Configuration Editor to set up the config file; this makes it much easier to reconfigure the service (does not require code changes).
