Question

Hi I have my own ServiceBehavior:

public class StructureMapServiceBehavior : IServiceBehavior
    {
        public void ApplyDispatchBehavior(ServiceDescription serviceDescription, ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase)
        {
            foreach (ChannelDispatcherBase cdb in serviceHostBase.ChannelDispatchers)
            {
                ChannelDispatcher cd = cdb as ChannelDispatcher;
                if (cd != null)
                {
                    foreach (EndpointDispatcher ed in cd.Endpoints)
                    {
                        ed.DispatchRuntime.InstanceProvider =
                            new StructureMapInstanceProvider(serviceDescription.ServiceType);
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        public void AddBindingParameters(ServiceDescription serviceDescription, ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase, Collection<ServiceEndpoint> endpoints, BindingParameterCollection bindingParameters)
        {
        }

        public void Validate(ServiceDescription serviceDescription, ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase)
        {
        }

    }

How i can add it in App.config with WCF configuration tool ?

Answer 1

Create a class that inherit from BehaviorExtensionElement:

public class StructureMapServiceBehaviorElement : BehaviorExtensionElement
{
    public override Type BehaviorType
    {
        get { return typeof(StructureMapServiceBehavior ); }
    }

    protected override object CreateBehavior()
    {
        return new StructureMapServiceBehavior ();
    }
}

Then register your extension in the config file:

<behaviorExtensions>
    <add name="timeService" type="YourAssembly.StructureMapServiceBehaviorElement ,
YourAssembly, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" />
</behaviorExtensions>

When that is done you can use your extension like any other.

EDIT: To do it using the configuration tool, it is similar. Once the class above is created, register your behavior in the extensions section of the WCF configuration tool (advanced->extensions->behavior element extensions)
