System.ServiceModel 4.0.0.0 System.ServiceModel.Channels.BindingElement This class factors out properties that are common to all of the transport binding elements provided by the indigo1. It handles the translation of the base transport settings into run-time manifestations. It delegates the translation of transport-specific settings (for example, HttpProxySettings for HTTP) logic in its concrete derived class transport bindings, which include the following classes: Custom transport binding element developers must inherit from this class, which derives from the class.

An abstract base class that represents a transport binding element.

Constructor 4.0.0.0 To be added.

Creates a new instance of this class.

Constructor 4.0.0.0 To be added. To be added.

Creates a new instance of this class from an existing instance.

Method 4.0.0.0 T ReferenceTypeConstraint This method receives a binding context as an input parameter, which represents the stack of binding elements. This method gets the specified object directly, delegates the inquiry to the next lower binding element in the stack, or a combination of the two. It can modify the context if it delegates the inquiry. Each binding element in the stack can repeat this process, if it has been delegated to, until the bottom of the stack is reached. The object returned is usually a collection of properties. If the type of is , , or then an instance of this class is returned. If the type of matches the type of an instance in , that instance is returned. This method is implemented by binding elements as well as by the run-time objects such as , , and .

Gets a property from the specified .

The property from the specified . A . The property to get. Property 4.0.0.0 System.Boolean To be added. This property is usually used in router scenarios, where the application determines which one of several destinations to send a message to. If this property is set to true, the channel assumes the message has already been addressed and does not add any additional information. If false, the sending channel applies the configured as the To addressee on the channel to outgoing messages.

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether manual addressing of the message is required.

Property 4.0.0.0 System.Int64 To be added. Many parts of WCF use buffers. Creating and destroying buffers each time they are used is expensive, and garbage collection for buffers is also expensive. With buffer pools, you can take a buffer from the pool, use it, and return it to the pool once you are done. Thus the overhead in creating and destroying buffers is avoided. The downside is that there is an increase in memory usage because your buffers are not getting garbage collected. If the is set to 0, no buffers are returned to the pool, and instead garbage collection begins.

Gets or sets the maximum size, in bytes, of any buffer pools used by the transport.

Property 4.0.0.0 System.Int64 To be added. This property can counter a hacker scenario where a message is sent with a very large or infinite specified length, or where data is sent continuously to a connected Named Pipe.

Gets and sets the maximum allowable message size, in bytes, that can be received.

Property 4.0.0.0 System.String To be added. This is overridden by each concrete transport implementation and is provided to validate bindings against base addresses.

Gets the URI scheme for the transport.
