Attributes and Elements

The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.

Attributes

Attribute	Description
closeTimeout	A TimeSpan value that specifies the interval of time provided for a close operation to complete. This value should be greater than or equal to Zero. The default is 00:01:00.
name	A string that contains the configuration name of the binding. This value should be unique because it is used as an identification for the binding. Each binding has a name and namespace attribute that together uniquely identify it in the metadata of the service. In addition, this name is unique among bindings of the same type.
openTimeout	A TimeSpan value that specifies the interval of time provided for an open operation to complete. This value should be greater than or equal to Zero. The default is 00:01:00.
receiveTimeout	A TimeSpan value that specifies the interval of time provided for a receive operation to complete. This value should be greater than or equal to Zero. The default is 00:10:00.
sendTimeout	A TimeSpan value that specifies the interval of time provided for a send operation to complete. This value should be greater than or equal to Zero. The default is 00:01:00.

Child Elements

None.

Parent Elements

Element	Description
<bindings>	This element holds a collection of standard and custom bindings. Each entry is identified by its unique name. Services use bindings by linking them using the name.
