Whoever comes from a soap service background always may have an assumption that for generating proxies you need to rely on svcutil.exe.If you think so,this assumption is wrong.You can create a proxy manually too.I am explaining here how you can do for a WCF service.
The proxy class derives from the class ClientBase<T> & ClientBase<T> accepts a single generic type parameter which is the service contract this proxy encapsulates. Say you have a servicecontract IVendorServices,then ClientBase<T> gets replaced with ClientBase<IVendorServices>.
[ServiceContract]
public interface IVendorServices
{
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "v1/Ping")]
[OperationContract]
string Ping();
}
public class VendorServices : IVendorServices
{
[Description("Service for Testing")]
public string Ping()
{
return DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd_HH:mm:ss:fffffffK");
}
}
public class VendorProxy : ClientBase<IVendorServices>, IVendorServices
{
public VendorProxy()
{
}
#region IVendorServices Members
public string Ping()
{
return Channel.Ping();
}
#endregion
}
After you write the proxy class,if you place mouse over the interface name,it will create the members of class automatically.The Channel property of ClientBase<T> is of the type of T parameter passed & if you write Channel.Ping(),it delegates the call to the method’s actual implementation & returns you the result.
Hope you got some idea on how it works 🙂
Channel is of type IVendorServices .Where is the concrete class for this interface ? Is it also created dynamically?
I did not understand what you have meant by dynamically here.VendorServices class implements methods of IVendorServices..Ya Channel is of type IVendorServices for that proxy.
