Per Session Based - Instance Management in WCF hosted on Web App


Question Arises: What is Instance Management?
 
We can say it is a type of rules governed to manage the services with clients. It provides high end in scalability, durability and effective transaction management.
 
Question Arises:
What is Per-Session Based Instance Management?
 
The Sessions are well managed between client and service, when the client creates a new proxy pointing towards a particular service instance the independent service is allocated for the client.
 
So, let's try to implement this concept so that we can get much better idea on this:
 
So, firstly we will create simple method in IService1, Where the Complete Code of IService1.cs looks like this:
 
 
using System.ServiceModel;
 
namespace SimpleInstanceManagement
 {
    
// NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the interface name "IService1" in both code and config file together.
 
    [ServiceContract(SessionMode = SessionMode.Required)]
     public interface
IService1
 
    { 
         [OperationContract]
         int SimpleMethod(int a);
     }
 }
 

 The Complete Code of Service1.svc looks like this:
 
 
using System;
 
using System.ServiceModel;
  
 
namespace SimpleInstanceManagement
 {
    
// NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the class name "Service1" in code, svc and config file together.
 
    [ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.PerSession)]
     public class Service1 : IService1,
IDisposable
 
    {
         public int Heighter = 0;
         public int SimpleMethod(int a)
         {
             a = (Heighter = Heighter + 1);
             return a;
         }
         public void Dispose()
         {
             Heighter = Heighter " 1;
         }
     }
 }
 
The Complete Code of Web.Config looks like this:
 
 
<?xml version="1.0"?>
 
<configuration>
 
       <system.web>
               <
compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />"
 
       </system.web>

                      <

                            <

                                  <!" To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false and remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment ">
 
                                  <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
 
                                  <!" To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true. Set to false before deployment to avoid disclosing exception
 information
"
>
 
                                  <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
 
                           </behavior>
                      </
serviceBehaviors>
               </
behaviors>
               <
serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
 
              <services>
                      <
service name="SimpleInstanceManagement.Service1"" behaviorConfiguration="Application">
 
                           <endpoint address="/SimpleAddress" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="SimpleInstanceManagement.IService1">"</endpoint>
 
                           <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange">
 
                           </endpoint>
                            <
host>
                                   <
baseAddresses>
                                          <
add baseAddress="http://localhost:49257/Service1.svc"/>
 
                                  </baseAddresses>
 
                            </host>
 
                     </service>
               </
services>
        </
system.serviceModel>
        <
system.webServer>
               <
modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
 
       </system.webServer>
 </
configuration>
 

I have created New Web Application where I have added it to existing solution files. I have specified service reference with a link as given below:
 
http://localhost:49257/Service1.svc
 
The Complete Code of WebForm1.aspx looks like this:

        </center>
 
    </div>
 
    </form>

 </

The Complete Code of WebForm1.aspx.cs looks like this:
 
 
using System;
 
using Instance.ServiceReference1;
  
 
namespace Instance
 {
     public partial class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page
     {
         protected void PageLoad(object sender, EventArgs e)
         {
         }
         protected void Button1Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
         {
             if (TextBox1.Text != null)
                 if ((TextBox1.Text)=="1")
                 {
                     var ab = new Service1Client();
                     Response.Write("<center>The Value is: <b>" + ab.SimpleMethod((Convert.ToInt32(TextBox1.Text))) +
                         "</br></b></center>");
                     Response.Write("<center>The Value is: <b>" + ab.SimpleMethod((Convert.ToInt32(TextBox1.Text))) +

                 }
             }
         }
     }
 }

 
The Output of the Application looks like this:

WCF hosted in web application
 
The Output of the Application for incorrect results looks like this:

asp.net WCF hosted
