SoapHeader Class

SOAP headers offer a method for passing data to and from an XML Web service method if the data is not directly related to the XML Web service method's primary functionality. For instance, an XML Web service might contain several XML Web service methods that each require a custom authentication scheme. Instead of adding parameters to each XML Web service method for the custom authentication scheme, aSoapHeaderAttribute, referring to a class deriving from SoapHeader, can be applied to each XML Web service method. The implementation for the class deriving from SoapHeader handles the custom authentication scheme. In this manner, the XML Web service method implements only the functionality specific to it and adds additional functionality using a SOAP header.

The following list outlines the basic steps to receiving and processing a SOAP header:

  1. Create a class that derives from SoapHeader representing the data passed into the SOAP header.

  2. Add a member to the class implementing an XML Web service or an XML Web service client proxy class, of the type created in the first step.

  3. Apply a SoapHeaderAttribute to the XML Web service method or the corresponding method in the proxy class, specifying the member created in the second step in the MemberName property.

  4. Within the XML Web service method or XML Web service client code, access the MemberName property to process the data sent in the SOAP header.

Asynchronous Socket Programming in C#

Image
Objective The objective of this article is to demonstrate a socket-based client/server application that will allow two-way asynchronous communication between a server and multiple client applications. Because this example uses asynchronous methods, the server application does not use threads to communicate to multiple clients (although internally the asynchronous communication mechanism uses threads at the OS level). The Difference Between Synchronous and Asynchronous Communication in Network Programming The key difference between synchronous and asynchronous communication can be explained with an example. Consider a server application that is listening on a specific port to get data from clients. In synchronous receiving, while the server is waiting to receive data from a client, if the stream is empty the main thread will block until the request for data is satisfied. Hence, the server cannot do anything else until it receives data from the client. If another clien
