System.ServiceModel.Discovery Namespace

Contains the classes required for the creation and use of discoverable services. These classes implement the WS-Discovery protocol for Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).

Classes

AnnouncementClient	Used by services to send discovery announcement messages. Clients can use the discovery mechanism, specifically the corresponding AnnouncementService class to listen and act on the announcement messages. An announcement message contains information about the service such as its fully-qualified contract name, any scopes that the service is operating in as well as any custom metadata the service wants to send.
AnnouncementEndpoint	A standard endpoint that is used by services to send announcement messages.
AnnouncementEventArgs	Used to pass announcement event arguments.
AnnouncementService	A self-hosted implementation of the announcement service.
DiscoveryClient	Allows you to discover available services.
DiscoveryClientBindingElement	A binding element that can be added to a WCF client application to take advantage of the Discovery client channel. The Discovery client channel allows a WCF client application to access a discoverable service without knowing the endpoint address in advance.
DiscoveryEndpoint	A standard discovery endpoint.
DiscoveryEndpointProvider	Provides a discovery endpoint.
DiscoveryMessageSequence	Represents the AppSequence header defined in the WS-Discovery protocol.
DiscoveryMessageSequenceGenerator	A helper class that creates DiscoveryMessageSequence instances.
DiscoveryOperationContextExtension	An operation context extension used to make various configuration items available to the discovery runtime.
DiscoveryProxy	An abstract base class used to implement a discovery proxy.
DiscoveryService	An abstract base class used to implement a discovery service.
DiscoveryServiceExtension	An abstract WCF extension class for specifying a custom discovery service or for getting the published endpoints.
DiscoveryVersion	Specifies the version of the WS-Discovery protocol to use.
DynamicEndpoint	An endpoint that uses WS-Discovery to find the endpoint address dynamically at runtime.
EndpointDiscoveryBehavior	Controls the content of the EndpointDiscoveryMetadata returned by a discovery endpoint.
EndpointDiscoveryMetadata	Contains the metadata for a discoverable service.
FindCompletedEventArgs	Arguments for the FindCompleted event.
FindCriteria	Represents the criteria to use when searching for services.
FindProgressChangedEventArgs	Arguments for the FindProgressChanged event.
FindRequestContext	Represents a find request sent by a client.
FindResponse	Represents the response from a find request.
ResolveCompletedEventArgs	Arguments for the ResolveCompleted event.
ResolveCriteria	Represents the criteria to use when resolving a service.
ResolveResponse	Represents the response from a resolve request.
ServiceDiscoveryBehavior	This class controls the discoverability of service endpoints.
UdpAnnouncementEndpoint	A standard endpoint that is used by services to send announcement messages over a UDP binding. This endpoint inherits from AnnouncementEndpoint and similarly has a fixed contract and supports two discovery versions. In addition it has a fixed UDP binding and a default address value as specified in the WS-Discovery specifications (WS-Discovery April 2005 or WS-Discovery version 1.1). Therefore, in the simplest case you do not have to specify any of these values when you create an AnnouncementEndpoint and add it to a service.
UdpDiscoveryEndpoint	A standard endpoint that is pre-configured for discovery operations over a UDP multicast binding. This endpoint inherits from DiscoveryEndpoint and similarly has a fixed contract and supports two WS-Discovery protocol versions. In addition, it has a fixed UDP binding and a default address as specified in the WS-Discovery specifications (WS-Discovery April 2005 or WS-Discovery V1.1).
UdpTransportSettings	Enables you to set UDP transport settings.
