ASP.NET in a Nutshell

Name

Binding

Synopsis

A WSDL document defines abstract information for data types, messages, and operations. A binding bridges the gap between abstract, protocol-independent information, and the encoding of that information (the concrete physical representation of messages on the wire). The Binding class represents the WSDL <binding> element, which provides binding information for a single protocol. For example, the WSDL document ASP.NET generates for a web service called StockQuotes would have three bindings: StockQuotesHttpGet, StockQuotesHttpPost, and StockQuotesSoap.

A Binding contains a collection of OperationBinding objects (provided through the Operations property). Bindings must define WSDL ports (represented by the Port class).
