… or create a custom binding from a build-in binding.
… or create an administrative XML-based configuration from an administrative programmatic configuration.
Below codes does all that:
// Specify the source binding
// - Programmatic binding
// - Administrative XML-based binding
// - Convert to custom binding
/* Programmatic binding */
var binding = new BasicHttpBinding();
binding.TransferMode = TransferMode.Streamed;
binding.MaxReceivedMessageSize = 10000;
/* Administrative XML-based binding */
// var binding = new BasicHttpBinding("basicHttp");
/* Convert to custom binding */
// var wsBinding = new WSHttpBinding("wsHttp");
// var binding = new CustomBinding(wsBinding);
string outputConfigFile = "out.config";
Configuration machineConfig = ConfigurationManager.OpenMachineConfiguration();
var fileMap = new ExeConfigurationFileMap();
fileMap.ExeConfigFilename = outputConfigFile;
fileMap.MachineConfigFilename = machineConfig.FilePath;
Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(fileMap, ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
config.NamespaceDeclared = true;
var scg = new ServiceContractGenerator(config);
string sectionName, configName;
scg.GenerateBinding(binding, out sectionName, out configName);
config.Save();
The programmatic source binding will create a configuration file with all default values for the BasicHttpBinding except for TransferMode and MaxReceivedMessageSize attributes like so:
<basichttpbinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding"
closeTimeout="00:01:00"
openTimeout="00:01:00"
receiveTimeout="00:10:00"
sendTimeout="00:01:00"
allowCookies="false"
bypassProxyOnLocal="false"
hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
maxBufferSize="65536"
maxBufferPoolSize="524288"
maxReceivedMessageSize="10000"
messageEncoding="Text"
textEncoding="utf-8"
transferMode="Streamed"
useDefaultWebProxy="true">
<readerquotas maxDepth="32"
maxStringContentLength="8192"
maxArrayLength="16384"
maxBytesPerRead="4096"
maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
<security mode="None">
<transport clientCredentialType="None"
proxyCredentialType="None"
realm="" />
<message clientCredentialType="UserName"
algorithmSuite="Default" />
</security>
</binding>
</basichttpbinding>
