Question

Ravi Patel · Answer

Hi ServiceBehaviour is attribute in WCF this attribute is used to specify the InstanceContextMode for the WCF Service class (This can be used to maintained a state of the service or a client too) There are three instance Context Mode in the WFC PerSession : This is used to create a new instance for a service and the same instance is used for all method for a particular client. (eg: State can be maintained per session by declaring a variable) PerCall : This is used to create a new instance for every call from the client whether same client or different. (eg: No state can be maintained as every time a new instance of the service is created) Single: This is used to create only one instance of the service and the same instance is used for all the client request. (eg: Global state can be maintained but this will be applicable for all clients) Refer this also http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/443576/Implementing-WCF-Service-Behaviors
