Today, in this article we will dig out on one more interesting implementation in WP7 which whereby gets cross messages from WCF Service based on Toggle Switch Operation.

So, let's get it started off!!!

Question Arises: What is Toggle Switch?

It is a kind of Switch which enables user to switch on to perform some task or switch off to perform nothing. For Instance: If you want to turn on or off WI-FI. It is similar to a checkbox type.

The Complete Code of IService1.cs looks like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.Text;

namespace Toggle_Switch_WCF
{
    // 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]
    public interface IService1
    {
        [OperationContract]
        string ToggleOn();

        [OperationContract]
        string ToggleOff();
    }
}

The Complete Code of Service1.svc looks like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.Text;

namespace Toggle_Switch_WCF
{
    // NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the class name "Service1" in code, svc and config file together.
    public class Service1 : IService1
    {
        public string ToggleOn()
        {
            return "Hurray!!! I am From WCF Toggle On";
        }

        public string ToggleOff()
        {
            return "Hurray!!! I am From WCF Toggle Off";
        }
    }
}

The Complete Code of Web.Config looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>

<system.web>
    <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
</system.web>
<system.serviceModel>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior>
          
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
          
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
    <serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
<system.webServer>
    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
</system.webServer>

</configuration>
