WCF Service Client Lifetime
- by Burt
I have a WPF appliction that uses WCF services to make calls to the server.
I use this property in my code to access the service
private static IProjectWcfService ProjectService
{
get
{
_projectServiceFactory = new ProjectWcfServiceFactory();
return _projectServiceFactory.Create();
}
}
The Create on the factory looks like this
public IProjectWcfService Create()
{
_serviceClient = new ProjectWcfServiceClient();
//ToDo: Need some way of saving username and password
_serviceClient.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "Brendan";
_serviceClient.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "password";
return _serviceClient;
}
To access the service methods I use somethingn like the following.
ProjectService.Save(dto);
Is this a good approach for what I am trying to do? I am getting an errorthat I can't track down that I think may be realted to having too many service client connections open (is this possible?) notice I never close the service client or reuse it.
What would the best practice for WCF service client's be for WPF calling?
Thanks in advance...
