Questions tagged [servicebehavior]

The ServiceBehaviorAttribute attribute is applied to a service implementation to specify service-wide execution behavior. (To specify execution behavior at the method level, use the OperationBehaviorAttributeattribute.) This attribute can be applied only to service implementations. ServiceBehaviorAttribute properties are a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) programming model feature that enables the following behavior properties:

• The AddressFilterMode property specifies the type of filter that the dispatcher system uses to locate the endpoint that handles requests.
• The AutomaticSessionShutdown property automatically closes the session when the channel is closed and the service has finished processing any remaining messages.
• The ConcurrencyMode property controls the internal threading model, enabling support for reentrant or multithreaded services.
• The ConfigurationName property is used to declare a name for use in the name attribute of the element in a configuration file.
• The IgnoreExtensionDataObject property enables the run time to ignore extra serialization information that is not required to process the message.
• The IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults property specifies whether unhandled exceptions in a service are returned as SOAP faults. This is for debugging purposes only.
• The InstanceContextMode property specifies whether and when services and their service objects are to be recycled during an exchange with a client.
• The MaxItemsInObjectGraph property to limit on the number of items in an object graph that are serialized.
• The Name and Namespace properties control the name and namespace for the WSDL expression of the service element.
• The ReleaseServiceInstanceOnTransactionComplete property specifies whether the service object is recycled when a transaction completes.
• The TransactionAutoCompleteOnSessionClose property specifies whether outstanding transactions are completed when the session closes.
• The TransactionIsolationLevel property specifies the transaction isolation level that the contract supports.
• The TransactionTimeout property specifies the time period within which a transaction must complete or it aborts.
• The UseSynchronizationContext property indicates whether to synchronize inbound method calls with the user interface thread automatically.
• The ValidateMustUnderstand property informs the system whether it should confirm that SOAP headers marked as MustUnderstand have, in fact, been understood.
