Remarks

Security is turned off by default for Silverlight clients configured with the BasicHttpBinding. To use a non-default mode of security, specify it with the parameter when using the non-default BasicHttpBinding(BasicHttpSecurityMode) or use the Mode property to change the default to the mode of security required.

Examples
