Working with Channesl

In Example 1-21 there is no default (parameter-less) constructor for the ChannelFactory<T> class. Also, the first paragraph underneath Example 1-21 states "You need to provide the constructor of ChannelFactory<T> with the endpoint..." However the code underneath that paragraph is as follows:

ChannelFactory<IMyContract> factrory = new ChannelFactory<IMyContract>() ;

No parameter is passed to the constructor. Am I missing something or is this an error?

Note from the Author or Editor:
Yes, it should be:

ChannelFactory<IMyContract> factory = new ChannelFactory<IMyContract>(...);

Figure 1-10 should be Figure 1-15 I think

First paragraph, first sentence

I believe "the outgoing message to the client" should read "the outgoing message to the service"

the GetAddress method

Inconsistent name for a local variable. It looks like the "record" variable name got changed to "hostRecord" at some point, or vice versa, but not all occurrences were caught.

Also: the return type of the GetAddress method is EndpointAddress, but the type actually returned is Tuple<ServiceHost, EndpointAddress>. The last line of the method should probably be:

return hostRecord.Item2;

code block

Change

void InitializeCallStack2()

{

if(OperationContext.Current == null || Header == null)

{

Header = new SecurityCallStack();

}

else

{

Header = SecurityCallStackContext.Current;

}

}



To:



void InitializeCallStack()

{

if(OperationContext.Current != null)

{

Header = SecurityCallStackContext.Current;



if(Header == null)

{

Header = new SecurityCallStack();

}

}

else

{

Header = new SecurityCallStack();

}

}

Example 8-40


Change "m_Handles" to "m_PendingOperations" in three places:

In the code:

ManualResetEvent handle = new ManualResetEvent(false);
lock(m_Handles)

In the code:

handle.Set();
lock(m_Handles)

In the code:

public new void Close()
{
lock(m_Handles)

Last sentence in paragraph above Example 8-40

Put the line "Example 8-40 shows the implementation of AsyncOneWay
ClientBase<T>." as its own paragraph below where it is currently.

Bottom code block

IAsyncResult IMyContract.BeginMyMethod(string text,AsyncCallback
callback,object asyncState)

Code alignment needs to be corrected. Move callback, back up one line and indent object asyncState) so that it aligns with the end of the code above it.
