Hi All,

I've got a situation for a product relies on WCF.

One feature asks for configure a WCF method in order to parametrize its visibility depending on a setting value.

I mean, if a flag inside config file is true, method is operable and part of ServiceContract, if not, method cannot be accessed and does not appear on runtime.

Thanks in advance!

Solution 1

each operation from the service contract is exposed in WSDL. That is how WCF works. So each client consuming service WSDL can "use" it.
If you want to hide method based on flag then use if case to execute method if flag true.
Otherwise do not execute anything.
