WCF Add Header Issue with AddressHeader.CreateAddressHeader() method - c#

I'm trying to add a custom header to every outgoing request message via WCF.
I created the header object like that:
EndpointAddressBuilder eab = new EndpointAddressBuilder(combinedService.Endpoint.Address);
AddressHeader addressHeader = AddressHeader.CreateAddressHeader("HeaderData", String.Empty, "String data");
eab.Headers.Add(addressHeader);
combinedService.Endpoint.Address = eab.ToEndpointAddress();
I use this exact code in two positions in my code, one works well but the other does not.
The problem is in the following line of code:
AddressHeader addressHeader = AddressHeader.CreateAddressHeader("HeaderData", String.Empty, "String data");
When it works (pass the header data successfully) the created object looks like that:
But when it doesn't work, the created object looks like that:
The exact same method does this but two position code calls yield different results.
Is there any method I should execute on the addressHeader object to force it serialize the object? Maybe something like: Flush()?
I KNOW I can use several well known patterns of adding a custom headers like: "custom behavior", "Client Message Inspector" etc... But I have a requirement to add it on a specific point right before we send the message.

I've, finally, got a solution.
I just followed the steps in this and this excellent, detailed and simple articles.
Although this code might seems to be long and complecated, this is the most right manner for handling header data in WCF. So it'll finally worth it.
You just have to configure custom behavior for handling WCF header.
Here is how it goes:
Client Side:
public class FillHeaderDataBehaviourExtension : BehaviorExtensionElement, IEndpointBehavior
{
#region BehaviorExtensionElement Implementation
public override Type BehaviorType
{
get
{
return typeof(FillHeaderDataBehaviourExtension);
}
}
protected override object CreateBehavior()
{
return this;
}
#endregion
#region IServiceBehaviour Implementation
public void AddBindingParameters(ServiceDescription serviceDescription, ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase, Collection<ServiceEndpoint> endpoints, BindingParameterCollection bindingParameters)
{
}
public void ApplyDispatchBehavior(ServiceDescription serviceDescription, ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase)
{
}
public void Validate(ServiceDescription serviceDescription, ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase)
{
}
public void Validate(ServiceEndpoint endpoint)
{
}
public void AddBindingParameters(ServiceEndpoint endpoint, BindingParameterCollection bindingParameters)
{
}
public void ApplyDispatchBehavior(ServiceEndpoint endpoint, EndpointDispatcher endpointDispatcher)
{
}
public void ApplyClientBehavior(ServiceEndpoint endpoint, ClientRuntime clientRuntime)
{
clientRuntime.ClientMessageInspectors.Add(new MessageInspector());
}
#endregion
}
public class MessageInspector : IClientMessageInspector
{
public object BeforeSendRequest(ref Message request, IClientChannel channel)
{
MessageHeader header = MessageHeader.CreateHeader("HeaderData", String.Empty, HeaderDataVM.GetInstance().GetBaseInstance());
request.Headers.Add(header); // There is no need for checking if exist before adding. Every request has it's own headers.
return null;
}
public void AfterReceiveReply(ref Message reply, object correlationState)
{
}
}
Server Side:
public class ExtractHeadersBehaviourExtension : BehaviorExtensionElement, IServiceBehavior
{
#region BehaviorExtensionElement Implementation
public override Type BehaviorType
{
get
{
return typeof(ExtractHeadersBehaviourExtension);
}
}
protected override object CreateBehavior()
{
return this;
}
#endregion
#region IServiceBehavior Implementation
public void AddBindingParameters(ServiceDescription serviceDescription, ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase, Collection<ServiceEndpoint> endpoints, BindingParameterCollection bindingParameters)
{
}
public void ApplyDispatchBehavior(ServiceDescription serviceDescription, ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase)
{
for (int i = 0; i < serviceHostBase.ChannelDispatchers.Count; i++)
{
ChannelDispatcher channelDispatcher = serviceHostBase.ChannelDispatchers[i] as ChannelDispatcher;
if (channelDispatcher != null)
{
foreach (EndpointDispatcher endpointDispatcher in channelDispatcher.Endpoints)
{
MessageInspector inspector = new MessageInspector();
endpointDispatcher.DispatchRuntime.MessageInspectors.Add(inspector);
}
}
}
}
public void Validate(ServiceDescription serviceDescription, ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase)
{
}
#endregion
}
public class MessageInspector : IDispatchMessageInspector
{
public void BeforeSendReply(ref Message reply, object correlationState)
{
}
public object AfterReceiveRequest(ref Message request, IClientChannel channel, InstanceContext instanceContext)
{
HeaderData headerData = request.Headers.GetHeader<HeaderData>("HeaderData", String.Empty);
if(headerData != null)
{
OperationContext.Current.IncomingMessageProperties.Add("HeaderData", headerData);
}
return null;
}
}
And finally, don't forget to configure it in the app.config files (client & server side) as follows:
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="NewBehavior">
<fillHeaderDataBehaviourExtension/>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<bindings>
You can also add these lines via the WCF config editor. To do so, look at this answer.
Important: Note that you'll get an error in the app config after adding these lines of configuration code:
Don't worry about this, your application will run correctly. It causes because the GAC (Global Assembly Cache) folder doesn't contain this behavior (since it is custom behavior). You can fix it by adding this behavior manually to your GAC folder on your computer.
However, this error might prevent you from updating service reference. If you try to, you'll get this error message:
So just comment out this line (<extractHeadersBehaviourExtension/>) (in client & server side) when you update your service reference.

How to get wcf response in XML format which is referenced through service reference in class library project

// Created obj for wcf service
ServiceSummary.ImageService.ManagerServiceClient obj1 = new ServiceSummary.ImageService.ManagerServiceClient();
// Forming a request body
var request = new ImageService.GetImageRequest
{
UserContextData = new ImageService.UserContextData
{
Country = Country.ToUpper(),
Region = Region.ToUpper()
},
};
// Invoking GetImageResponse and storing result in response variable
var response = obj1.GetImageResponse(request);
The response is returned of type class - how to get the response in XML format instead?
I am a little confused that why we need that primitive XML data. But we can completely get the source message, SOAP message envelops by using IClientMessageInspector.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.servicemodel.dispatcher.iclientmessageinspector?redirectedfrom=MSDN&view=netframework-4.8
Here is an example, assumed that you call the service by using a client proxy.
public class ClientMessageLogger : IClientMessageInspector
{
public void AfterReceiveReply(ref Message reply, object correlationState)
{
Console.WriteLine(reply);
}
public object BeforeSendRequest(ref Message request, IClientChannel channel)
{
return null;
}
}
public class CustContractBehaviorAttribute : Attribute, IContractBehavior, IContractBehaviorAttribute
{
public Type TargetContract => typeof(IService);
public void AddBindingParameters(ContractDescription contractDescription, ServiceEndpoint endpoint, BindingParameterCollection bindingParameters)
{
return;
}
public void ApplyClientBehavior(ContractDescription contractDescription, ServiceEndpoint endpoint, ClientRuntime clientRuntime)
{
clientRuntime.ClientMessageInspectors.Add(new ClientMessageLogger());
}
public void ApplyDispatchBehavior(ContractDescription contractDescription, ServiceEndpoint endpoint, DispatchRuntime dispatchRuntime)
{
return;
}
public void Validate(ContractDescription contractDescription, ServiceEndpoint endpoint)
{
return;
}
}
Then apply the contract behavior on the automatically generated service contract.
[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("System.ServiceModel", "4.0.0.0")]
[System.ServiceModel.ServiceContractAttribute(ConfigurationName="ServiceReference1.IService")]
[CustContractBehavior]
public interface IService {
Result.

WCF exception handling using IErrorHandler

I am basically implementing the IErrorHandler interface to catch all kinds of exceptions from the WCF service and sending it to the client by implementing the ProvideFault method.
I am facing one critical issue however. All of the exceptions are sent to the client as a FaultException but this disables the client to handle specific exceptions that he may have defined in the service.
Consider: SomeException that has been defined and thrown in one of the OperationContract implementations. When the exception is thrown, its converted to a fault using the following code:
var faultException = new FaultException(error.Message);
MessageFault messageFault = faultException.CreateMessageFault();
fault = Message.CreateMessage(version, messageFault, faultException.Action);
This does send the error as a string, but the client has to catch a general exception like:
try{...}
catch(Exception e){...}
and not:
try{...}
catch(SomeException e){...}
Not only custom exceptions like SomeException, but system exceptions like InvalidOperationException cannot be caught using the above process.
Any ideas as to how to implement this behavior?
In WCF desirable to use special exceptions described as contracts, because your client may not be .NET application which has information about standard .NET exceptions.
For do this you can define the FaultContract in the your service and then use the FaultException class.
SERVER SIDE
[ServiceContract]
public interface ISampleService
{
[OperationContract]
[FaultContractAttribute(typeof(MyFaultMessage))]
string SampleMethod(string msg);
}
[DataContract]
public class MyFaultMessage
{
public MyFaultMessage(string message)
{
Message = message;
}
[DataMember]
public string Message { get; set; }
}
class SampleService : ISampleService
{
public string SampleMethod(string msg)
{
throw new FaultException<MyFaultMessage>(new MyFaultMessage("An error occurred."));
}
}
In addition, you can specify in the configuration file that the server returns exception details in it's FaultExceptions, but this is not recommended in a production application:
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior>
<!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true. Set to false before deployment to avoid disclosing exception information -->
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
After that, you can rewrite your method for handling exceptions:
var faultException = error as FaultException;
if (faultException == null)
{
//If includeExceptionDetailInFaults = true, the fault exception with details will created by WCF.
return;
}
MessageFault messageFault = faultException.CreateMessageFault();
fault = Message.CreateMessage(version, messageFault, faultException.Action);
CLIENT:
try
{
_client.SampleMethod();
}
catch (FaultException<MyFaultMessage> e)
{
//Handle
}
catch (FaultException<ExceptionDetail> exception)
{
//Getting original exception detail if includeExceptionDetailInFaults = true
ExceptionDetail exceptionDetail = exception.Detail;
}
This article might help:
http://www.olegsych.com/2008/07/simplifying-wcf-using-exceptions-as-faults/
An approach I've used with some success when I didn't want to enumerate the exceptions that might be thrown is to create a PassthroughExceptionHandlingBehavior class that implements an IErrorHandler behavior for the server-side and IClientMessageInspector for the client side. The IErrorHandler behavior serializes the exception into the fault message. The IClientMessageInspector deserializes and throws the exception.
You have to attach this behavior to both the WCF client and the WCF server. You can attach the behaviors using the config file or by applying the [PassthroughExceptionHandlingBehavior] attribute to your contract.
Here's the behavior class:
public class PassthroughExceptionHandlingBehavior : Attribute, IClientMessageInspector, IErrorHandler,
IEndpointBehavior, IServiceBehavior, IContractBehavior
{
#region IClientMessageInspector Members
public void AfterReceiveReply(ref System.ServiceModel.Channels.Message reply, object correlationState)
{
if (reply.IsFault)
{
// Create a copy of the original reply to allow default processing of the message
MessageBuffer buffer = reply.CreateBufferedCopy(Int32.MaxValue);
Message copy = buffer.CreateMessage(); // Create a copy to work with
reply = buffer.CreateMessage(); // Restore the original message
var exception = ReadExceptionFromFaultDetail(copy) as Exception;
if (exception != null)
{
throw exception;
}
}
}
public object BeforeSendRequest(ref System.ServiceModel.Channels.Message request, System.ServiceModel.IClientChannel channel)

return null;

const string detailElementName = "detail";
using (XmlDictionaryReader reader = reply.GetReaderAtBodyContents())

while (reader.Read())

if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element &&
detailElementName.Equals(reader.LocalName, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
{
return ReadExceptionFromDetailNode(reader);
}
}
// Couldn't find it!
return null;
}
}
private static object ReadExceptionFromDetailNode(XmlDictionaryReader reader)
{
// Move to the contents of <soap:Detail>
if (!reader.Read())
{
return null;
}
// Return the deserialized fault
try
{
NetDataContractSerializer serializer = new NetDataContractSerializer();
return serializer.ReadObject(reader);
}
catch (SerializationException)

return null;

// Let WCF do normal processing
}
else
{
// Generate fault message manually including the exception as the fault detail
MessageFault messageFault = MessageFault.CreateFault(

Presuming that the PDB files are present in your bin directory you can simply attach a debugger to the IIS7 process and debug as normal.
Make sure that the web.config has debug="true" set.

How to fire an event (client side) when I call a WCF service

I'd like to fire an event every time I call a WCF service.
I've tried the following:
var factory = new ChannelFactory<TService>(binding, endPointAdress);
factory.Credentials.UserName.UserName = username;
factory.Credentials.UserName.Password = password;
var proxy = factory.CreateChannel();
((IContextChannel)this.Proxy).Opened += new EventHandler(FactoryOpeningEventHandler);
this.Factory.Opened += new EventHandler(FactoryOpeningEventHandler);
The problem with the above is that the event is only called when the proxy is opened, but I want to fire the event when a call is made trough this proxy, not only when it opens. I know there is no event for the IContextChannel that can do what I want, so I would like to have a workaround.
You start by creating an inspector class that implement both IDispatchMessageInspector (when sending) and IClientMessageInspector (when receiving) interfaces.
public class SendReceiveInspector : IDispatchMessageInspector, IClientMessageInspector
{
public object AfterReceiveRequest(ref Message request, IClientChannel channel, InstanceContext instanceContext)
{
// TODO: Fire your event here if needed
return null;
}
public void BeforeSendReply(ref Message reply, object correlationState)
{
// TODO: Fire your event here if needed
}
public void AfterReceiveReply(ref Message reply, object correlationState)
{
// TODO: Fire your event here if needed
}
public object BeforeSendRequest(ref Message request, IClientChannel channel)
{
// TODO: Fire your event here if needed
return null;
}
}
After you have your inspector class, you have to register it through a behaviour.
public class SendReceiveBehavior : IEndpointBehavior, IServiceBehavior
{
void IEndpointBehavior.ApplyClientBehavior(ServiceEndpoint endpoint, ClientRuntime clientRuntime)
{
clientRuntime.MessageInspectors.Add(new SendReceiveInspector());
}
void IEndpointBehavior.ApplyDispatchBehavior(ServiceEndpoint endpoint, EndpointDispatcher endpointDispatcher)
{
endpointDispatcher.DispatchRuntime.MessageInspectors.Add(new SendReceiveInspector());
}
void IEndpointBehavior.AddBindingParameters(ServiceEndpoint endpoint, BindingParameterCollection bindingParameters)
{
// Leave empty
}
void IEndpointBehavior.Validate(ServiceEndpoint endpoint)
{
// Leave empty
}
void IServiceBehavior.ApplyDispatchBehavior(ServiceDescription desc, ServiceHostBase host)
{
foreach (ChannelDispatcher cDispatcher in host.ChannelDispatchers)
{
foreach (EndpointDispatcher eDispatcher in cDispatcher.Endpoints)
{
eDispatcher.DispatchRuntime.MessageInspectors.Add(new SendReceiveInspector());
}
}
}
void IServiceBehavior.AddBindingParameters(ServiceDescription serviceDescription, ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase, Collection<ServiceEndpoint> endpoints, BindingParameterCollection bindingParameters)
{
// Leave empty
}
void IServiceBehavior.Validate(ServiceDescription serviceDescription, ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase)
{
// Leave empty
}
}
Finally, you have to register that behaviour to your service description:
host.Description.Behaviors.Add(new SendReceiveBehavior ());
foreach (ServiceEndpoint se in host.Description.Endpoints)
se.Behaviors.Add(new SendReceiveBehavior ());

Hooking into wcf pipeline

Is there way inspect wcf method call. I means anything equal to HttpModule in asp.net.
I want execute a method before any method call.
WCF has a very extensible architecture. It is possible to intercept and customize a lot of WCF functionality to do your own thing.
For your case you will have to write appropriate Service or Endpoint Behavior. The process between receiving a message from the transport channels and invoking your service method is called as dispatching. WCF uses a set of Behaviors to do the dispatching. You can provide your own Behavior to inspect the method calls.
This article provides an excellent overview and examples - Extending WCF with Custom Behaviors.
I would also suggest that you go through this WCF architecture overview http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa480210.aspx
It depends what you want to check or modify in message at what level. If you'd like to modify something at Encoding level, you can opt for Custom Message Encoder, if it's before request get deserialize or before sending reply to client, use Custom Message Inspector.
HTH.
The IOperationInvoker might have been what you were looking for:
public class MyOperationInvoker : IOperationInvoker
{
IOperationInvoker originalInvoker;
public MyOperationInvoker(IOperationInvoker originalInvoker)
{
this.originalInvoker = originalInvoker;
}
public bool IsSynchronous { get { return originalInvoker.IsSynchronous; } }
public object[] AllocateInputs() { return originalInvoker.AllocateInputs(); }
public object Invoke(object instance, object[] inputs, out object[] outputs)
{
//Do stuff before call
var res = this.originalInvoker.Invoke(instance, inputs, out outputs);
//stuff after call
return res;
}
public IAsyncResult InvokeBegin(object instance, object[] inputs,
AsyncCallback callback, object state)
{
//Do stuff before async call
var res = this.originalInvoker.InvokeBegin(instance, inputs, callback, state);
return res;
}
public object InvokeEnd(object instance, out object[] outputs, IAsyncResult result)
{
var res = this.InvokeEnd(instance, out outputs, result);
//Do stuff after async call
return res;
}
}
Implemented as an attribute for all operations in the service:
public class MyBehaviorAttribute : Attribute, IServiceBehavior, IOperationBehavior
{
//IOperationBehavior
public void ApplyDispatchBehavior(OperationDescription operationDescription,
DispatchOperation dispatchOperation)
{
dispatchOperation.Invoker = new MyOperationInvoker(dispatchOperation.Invoker);
}
public void AddBindingParameters(OperationDescription operationDescription,
BindingParameterCollection bindingParameters) { /*Do nothing*/ }
public void ApplyClientBehavior(OperationDescription operationDescription,
ClientOperation clientOperation) { /*Do nothing*/ }
public void Validate(OperationDescription operationDescription) { /*Do nothing*/ }
//IServiceBehavior
public void Validate(ServiceDescription serviceDescription,
ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase) { /*Do nothing*/ }
public void AddBindingParameters(ServiceDescription serviceDescription,
ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase,
Collection<ServiceEndpoint> endpoints,
BindingParameterCollection bindingParameters) { /*Do nothing*/ }
public void ApplyDispatchBehavior(ServiceDescription serviceDescription,
ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase)
{
foreach (ServiceEndpoint endpoint in serviceHostBase.Description.Endpoints)
{
foreach (var operation in endpoint.Contract.Operations)
{
operation.Behaviors.Add(this);
}
}
}
And the service:
[MyBehavior]
public class HelloService : IHelloService
{
...
}
