Define Service Contracts and Operation Contracts in WCF?
1. Service Contract - An interface that exposes the service operations is usually decorated with the service contract attribute. Always provide meaningful Namespace and Name to a service contract as shown in the example below.
2. Operation Contract - All methods in a service contract should have OperationContract attribute. You can also provide explicit Name, Action and ReplyAction as shown in the example below.
Can you apply, ServiceContract attribute to a class rather than an interface in WCF?
Yes, a ServiceContract attribute can be applied either to a class or an interface, but defining service contracts using interfaces rather classes has the following benifits.
1. Defining service contracts using interfaces, removes coupling to service implementation. Later the implementation can be changed at will without affecting the clients.
2. Defining service contracts using interfaces, also allows a service to implement more than 1 contract.
What is the purpose of MessageParameter attribute in WCF?
MessageParameter attribute is used to control the parameter and returned object names from a service operation. Consider the example below. On the service side, the method parameter name in SaveCustomer([MessageParameter(Name = "Customer")] Customer cust) is cust. If we donot use MessageParameter attribute, then "cust" is what is exposed as parameter name to the client, which is not very proffesional. So we are using MessageParameter attribute to expose the method parameter name as Cutomer.

What is the main use of Datacontract serilization when compare to XML Serialization
ReplyDeletehi,
Deletewhen web service xml serialization compare to datacontract serilization is better security,relability and transcation support.
XML serialization serializes all the members of the class where as datacontract ensures only to serialize members which are decorated with datamember
DeleteAlso, the order of serialization can be specified when we use datacontract-datamember model
