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 |
---|---|
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. |
Remarks
This binding is essentially a WSHttpBinding binding with security disabled. It supports most metadata requests.
