WCF Duplex Service with multiple endpoints

Question

Hi there

I have a service that uses duplex requests for calling back to the client application. I have currently exposed a single endpoint with a NetNamedPipeBinding, this is all working correctly.

When i add a basicHttpBinding i get the follow exception

Contract Requires Duplex, but Binding 'BasicHttpBinding' dosn't support it

Is it possible to configure the service to allow duplex and basicHttp?

Thanks

Answer 1

As long as the contract has call backs then no, you can't use BasicHttpBinding because, as the exception says, it won't support everything your contract needs. If you want to have callbacks over HTTP then you need to use wsDualHttpBinding

Answer 2

Here is a list of the out-of-the-box binding types. It has a table that lists whether the binding supports duplex.
