Request-Reply Operations

All the samples in the previous chapters included contracts whose operations are of the type known as request-reply. As the name implies, the client issues a request in the form of a message, and blocks until it get the reply message. If the service does not respond within a default timeout of one minute, the client will get a TimeoutException. Request-reply is the default operation mode. Programming against request-reply operations is simple enough and resembles programming using the classic client/server model. The returned response message containing the results or returned values is converted to normal method returned values. In addition, the proxy will throw an exception on the client side if there are any communication or service-side exceptions. With the exception of the NetPeerTcpBinding and NetMsmqBinding, all bindings support request-reply operations.
