public:
 property System::ServiceModel::Description::ServiceEndpointCollection ^ Endpoints { System::ServiceModel::Description::ServiceEndpointCollection ^ get(); };

public System.ServiceModel.Description.ServiceEndpointCollection Endpoints { get; }

member this.Endpoints : System.ServiceModel.Description.ServiceEndpointCollection

Public ReadOnly Property Endpoints As ServiceEndpointCollection

Property Value

ServiceEndpointCollection

The ServiceEndpointCollection that contains the endpoints defined for the service.

Examples

// Iterate through the endpoints contained in the ServiceDescription
ServiceEndpointCollection sec = svcDesc.Endpoints;
foreach (ServiceEndpoint se in sec)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Endpoint:");
    Console.WriteLine("\tAddress: {0}", se.Address.ToString());
    Console.WriteLine("\tBinding: {0}", se.Binding.ToString());
    Console.WriteLine("\tContract: {0}", se.Contract.ToString());
    KeyedByTypeCollection<IEndpointBehavior> behaviors = se.Behaviors;
    foreach (IEndpointBehavior behavior in behaviors)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Behavior: {0}", behavior.ToString());
    }
}

' Iterate through the endpoints contained in the ServiceDescription
Dim sec As ServiceEndpointCollection = svcDesc.Endpoints
For Each se As ServiceEndpoint In sec
    Console.WriteLine("Endpoint:")
    Console.WriteLine(Constants.vbTab & "Address: {0}", se.Address.ToString())
    Console.WriteLine(Constants.vbTab & "Binding: {0}", se.Binding.ToString())
    Console.WriteLine(Constants.vbTab & "Contract: {0}", se.Contract.ToString())
    Dim behaviors As KeyedByTypeCollection(Of IEndpointBehavior) = se.Behaviors
    For Each behavior As IEndpointBehavior In behaviors
        Console.WriteLine("Behavior: {0}", CType(behavior, Object).ToString())
    Next behavior
Next se

Remarks

The endpoints in the ServiceEndpointCollection returned by this method each contain the address, binding, contract, and behavior information required to communicate with the service. To access this information, you must retrieve the ServiceEndpoint from the collection with the Find method that employs the relevant search criteria. Then the ServiceEndpoint properties can be used to access the information. For example, the ContractDescription is accessed by the Contract property.

Export metadata about a service endpoint by passing ServiceEndpoint as a parameter to ExportEndpoint(ServiceEndpoint).
