Question

I have a custom behavior for a service where I want to specify a receive timeout value, I have created a behavior and on the build service header.

I use the declarative attribute to apply the behavior or as I thought. But the behavior seems to make no difference, i.e. the set timeout value is not being applied as expected.

The same behavior when applied explicitly through does work.
Any ideas?

Behavior:

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class)]
public class BuildServiceBindingBehavior : Attribute, IServiceBehavior
{
    public BuildServiceBindingBehavior( string p_receiveTime )
    {
        ReceiveTimeout = TimeSpan.Parse( p_receiveTime );
    }

    #region IServiceBehavior Members

    public void AddBindingParameters( ServiceDescription serviceDescription, ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase, System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<ServiceEndpoint> endpoints, System.ServiceModel.Channels.BindingParameterCollection bindingParameters )
    {
    }

    public void ApplyDispatchBehavior( ServiceDescription serviceDescription, ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase )
    {
        // add this behavior to each endpoint
        foreach ( var endPoint in serviceDescription.Endpoints )
        {
            endPoint.Binding.ReceiveTimeout = ReceiveTimeout;
        }
    }

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

    #endregion

    internal TimeSpan ReceiveTimeout { get; set; }
}

Service code:

[ServiceBehavior(Name = "DotNetBuildsService",
                 InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.PerSession,
                 ConcurrencyMode = ConcurrencyMode.Single
                 )]
// Set receieve time out
[BuildServiceBindingBehavior( "0:0:1" )]
public class BuildService : IBuildTasksService
{
  //implementation code
}

Move the code in ApplyDispatchBehavior() to AddBindingParameters().
