You can manually create a Microsoft .NET transport configuration
to describe the transport settings for service requests that use the Windows Communication Foundation
(WCF) protocol.
Before you begin
If you are using SOAP security, ensure that the environment
is configured with the correct libraries and configuration files.
Certificates and libraries required by the Microsoft client proxy must be installed
on the computer, including Microsoft .NET libraries.
You must link a modified version of the Microsoft client proxy configuration
file of the WCF service (by default client.exe.config) to the Microsoft .NET
transport configuration. You must rename the file to soaclient.exe.config and edit it as described in the following procedure.
Tip: You can create a Microsoft .NET transport configuration automatically by importing
the Microsoft .NET WSDL
file. In this case, you must still manually edit the Microsoft .NET transport configuration
to point to the modified
soaclient.exe.config file as described in the following procedure. For more information,
see
Sending service requests with WSDL files
What to do next
After you create the configuration, you can use it with any
service call that uses the Microsoft .NET transport protocol. You can use the
Configurations list in the generic service client to edit existing configurations
or to create duplicate configurations.
