IInstanceContextInitializer Interface

Definition

Defines the methods necessary to inspect or modify the creation of InstanceContext objects when required.

public interface class IInstanceContextInitializer
public interface IInstanceContextInitializer
type IInstanceContextInitializer = interface
Public Interface IInstanceContextInitializer

Remarks

To inspect or modify InstanceContext objects when they are created, implement the IInstanceContextInitializer interface and use an IContractBehavior to add it to the InstanceContextInitializers property.

There can be any number of context initializers for a service. Typically, the IInstanceContextInitializer is added to attach an extension to the InstanceContext object as a mechanism for passing data throughout an application.

If you want to participate in providing or selecting the InstanceContext object that processes a message, see System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.IInstanceContextProvider.

Methods

Initialize(InstanceContext, Message)

Provides the ability to modify the newly created InstanceContext object.
