System.ServiceModel 4.0.0.0 System.Object Use the to download metadata. Typically, a is configured for a metadata request and then passed to the or method for the to use to download metadata. However, you can use the directly to retrieve metadata as a that contains objects. Whether used directly or passed to a , has the following members to control the metadata download process: Use the constructors to customize the binding to use when making the metadata request. Use the property to specify the credentials used to make an HTTP/GET request. Use the property to specify the credentials used to make a WS-Transfer metadata request. Use the property to limit the number of metadata references the resolves. Use the property to limit the time spent retrieving metadata. Use the property to specify whether to locate and retrieve other metadata documents referred to by the metadata downloaded from the original metadata endpoint. Use the methods to begin the downloading process. In addition, you can create a derived class that can override the following two protected methods: Override the method to modify the channel that makes a metadata request using WS-Transfer. Override the method to modify the that makes a metadata request using HTTP/GET.
