Examples

The following example shows how to create address headers, access their properties, add them to a service endpoint and host the service using the endpoint.


// Name property
AddressHeader addressHeaderWithName = AddressHeader.CreateAddressHeader("MyServiceName", "http://localhost:8000/service",1);
string addressHeaderName = addressHeaderWithName.Name;

//Put snippet here.
// Namespace property
AddressHeader addressHeaderWithNS = AddressHeader.CreateAddressHeader("MyServiceName", "http://localhost:8000/service",1);
string addressHeaderNS = addressHeaderWithNS.Namespace;

// Obsolete

// Obsolete

// Create address headers for special services and add them to an array
AddressHeader addressHeader1 = AddressHeader.CreateAddressHeader("specialservice1", "http://localhost:8000/service", 1);
AddressHeader addressHeader2 = AddressHeader.CreateAddressHeader("specialservice2", "http://localhost:8000/service", 2);
AddressHeader[] addressHeaders = new AddressHeader[2] { addressHeader1, addressHeader2 };

// Endpoint address constructor with URI and address headers
EndpointAddress endpointAddressWithHeaders = new EndpointAddress(
    new Uri("http://localhost/silverlightsamples/service1"), addressHeaders
    );

// Confirm adddressHeader1 is in endpointAddressWithHeaders - boolHeaders returns True.
AddressHeaderCollection addressHeaderCollection = endpointAddressWithHeaders.Headers;
bool boolHeaders = addressHeaderCollection.Contains(addressHeader1);

//Create address headers with XmlObjectSerializer specified
XmlObjectSerializer serializer = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(int));
AddressHeader addressHeaderWithObjSer = AddressHeader.CreateAddressHeader("MyServiceName", "http://localhost:8000/service", 1, serializer);
int value = addressHeaderWithObjSer.GetValue<int>();

// Name property
AddressHeader addressHeaderWithName = AddressHeader.CreateAddressHeader("MyServiceName", "http://localhost:8000/service",1);
string addressHeaderName = addressHeaderWithName.Name;

//Put snippet here.
// Namespace property

Remarks

An AddressHeader is characterized by a name and namespace and has a value that contains optional information used to identify or interact with an endpoint. The name can be accessed by the Name property and the namespace by the Namespace property.

Constructors

AddressHeader()

Initializes a new instance of the AddressHeader class.

Properties

Name

When implemented, gets the name of the address header.

Namespace

When implemented, gets the namespace of the address header.

Methods

CreateAddressHeader(Object)

Creates a new instance of the AddressHeader class with a specified value.

CreateAddressHeader(Object, XmlObjectSerializer)

Creates a new instance of the AddressHeader class using a specified formatter to serialize the information item from a specified object.

CreateAddressHeader(String, String, Object)

Creates a new instance of the AddressHeader class with a specified value, name and namespace.

CreateAddressHeader(String, String, Object, XmlObjectSerializer)

Creates a new instance of the AddressHeader class with a specified name and namespace that uses a specified formatter to serialize the information item from a specified object.

Equals(Object)

Determines whether the information item in a specified object is equal to the object contained in the current address header.

GetAddressHeaderReader()

Returns an XML reader that can serialize the current address header object.

GetHashCode()

Provides a unique hash code for an address header.

GetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object)
GetValue<T>()

Deserializes the information item from the current address header to an object of a specified type.

GetValue<T>(XmlObjectSerializer)

Deserializes the information item from the current address header to an object of a specified type that uses a specified formatter to serialize this information.

MemberwiseClone()

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

(Inherited from Object)
OnWriteAddressHeaderContents(XmlDictionaryWriter)

When overridden in a derived class, is invoked when the address header contents are written to a stream or file.

OnWriteStartAddressHeader(XmlDictionaryWriter)

When overridden in a derived class, is invoked when the address header contents begin to be written to a stream or file.

ToMessageHeader()

Wraps the address header as a message header.

ToString()

Returns a string that represents the current object.

(Inherited from Object)
WriteAddressHeader(XmlDictionaryWriter)

Writes the address header to a stream or file using a specified XmlDictionaryWriter.

WriteAddressHeader(XmlWriter)

Writes the address header to a stream or file using a specified XmlWriter.

WriteAddressHeaderContents(XmlDictionaryWriter)

Writes the address header contents to a stream or file.

WriteStartAddressHeader(XmlDictionaryWriter)

Starts to write the address header contents to a stream or file.
