To do that you need to create a behavior configuration extension for your endpoint. For more information on how to do that, check https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/carlosfigueira/wcf-extensibility-behavior-configuration-extensions.
Update: I see your issue now. There's no direct way to add to an endpoint created via code a behavior declared in configuration. You can still do it, though, but you'll need to use some reflection to access the CreateBehavior method of the behavior configuration extension (the method is protected) to actually create the endpoint behavior to add it to the endpoint created via code. The code below shows how this can be done.
public class StackOverflow_10232385
{
public class MyCustomBehavior : IEndpointBehavior
{
public void AddBindingParameters(ServiceEndpoint endpoint, BindingParameterCollection bindingParameters)
{
Console.WriteLine("In {0}.{1}", this.GetType().Name, MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name);
}
public void ApplyClientBehavior(ServiceEndpoint endpoint, ClientRuntime clientRuntime)
{
Console.WriteLine("In {0}.{1}", this.GetType().Name, MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name);
}
public void ApplyDispatchBehavior(ServiceEndpoint endpoint, EndpointDispatcher endpointDispatcher)
{
Console.WriteLine("In {0}.{1}", this.GetType().Name, MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name);
}
public void Validate(ServiceEndpoint endpoint)
{
Console.WriteLine("In {0}.{1}", this.GetType().Name, MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name);
}
}
public class MyCustomBehaviorExtension : BehaviorExtensionElement
{
public override Type BehaviorType
{
get { return typeof(MyCustomBehavior); }
}
protected override object CreateBehavior()
{
return new MyCustomBehavior();
}
}
[ServiceContract]
public interface ITest
{
[OperationContract]
string Echo(string text);
}
public class Service : ITest
{
public string Echo(string text)
{
return text;
}
}
public static void Test()
{
string baseAddress = "http://" + Environment.MachineName + ":8000/Service";
ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(Service), new Uri(baseAddress));
ServiceEndpoint endpoint = host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(ITest), new BasicHttpBinding(), "");
var configuration = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
ServiceModelSectionGroup smsg = configuration.GetSectionGroup("system.serviceModel") as ServiceModelSectionGroup;
EndpointBehaviorElement endpointBehaviorElement = smsg.Behaviors.EndpointBehaviors["MyCustomBehavior_10232385"];
foreach (BehaviorExtensionElement behaviorElement in endpointBehaviorElement)
{
MethodInfo createBehaviorMethod = behaviorElement.GetType().GetMethod("CreateBehavior", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public, null, Type.EmptyTypes, null);
IEndpointBehavior behavior = createBehaviorMethod.Invoke(behaviorElement, new object[0]) as IEndpointBehavior;
endpoint.Behaviors.Add(behavior);
}
host.Open();
Console.WriteLine("Host opened");
ChannelFactory<ITest> factory = new ChannelFactory<ITest>(new BasicHttpBinding(), new EndpointAddress(baseAddress));
ITest proxy = factory.CreateChannel();
Console.WriteLine(proxy.Echo("Hello"));
((IClientChannel)proxy).Close();
factory.Close();
Console.Write("Press ENTER to close the host");
Console.ReadLine();
host.Close();
}
}
And the configuration for this code:
<system.serviceModel>
<extensions>
<behaviorExtensions>
<add name="myCustomBehavior_10232385" type="QuickCode1.StackOverflow_10232385+MyCustomBehaviorExtension, QuickCode1"/>
</behaviorExtensions>
</extensions>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="MyCustomBehavior_10232385">
<myCustomBehavior_10232385/>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
</system.serviceModel>
