Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Returns a value that indicates whether the current binding can build a channel factory stack on the client that satisfies the collection of binding parameters specified.

Namespace:  System.ServiceModel.Channels
Assembly:  System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration

    parameters As BindingParameterCollection _

  • TChannel
    The type of channel for which the factory is being tested.

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the specified channel factory stack can be build on the client; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Use this method if you want to check that the channel factory for channels of type TChannel can be build for the binding parameters specified before attempting to actually build the factory. Alternatively, try to build the channel factory by calling BuildChannelFactory<TChannel>(BindingParameterCollection) and catch the exception generated if it cannot be built.
