WCF Configuration without a config file

by

Consuming a web service without a config file is very simple, as I’ve discovered. You simply need to create a binding object and address object and pass them either to the constructor of the client proxy or to a generic ChannelFactory instance. You can look at the default app.config to see what settings to use, then create a static helper method somewhere that instantiates your proxy:

internal static MyServiceSoapClient CreateWebServiceInstance() {
    BasicHttpBinding binding = new BasicHttpBinding();
    // I think most (or all) of these are defaults--I just copied them from app.config:
    binding.SendTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes( 1 );
    binding.OpenTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes( 1 );
    binding.CloseTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes( 1 );
    binding.ReceiveTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes( 10 );
    binding.AllowCookies = false;
    binding.BypassProxyOnLocal = false;
    binding.HostNameComparisonMode = HostNameComparisonMode.StrongWildcard;
    binding.MessageEncoding = WSMessageEncoding.Text;
    binding.TextEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
    binding.TransferMode = TransferMode.Buffered;
    binding.UseDefaultWebProxy = true;
    return new MyServiceSoapClient( binding, new EndpointAddress( "http://www.mysite.com/MyService.asmx" ) );
}
