In this post I am going to discuss about the development of a WCF callback service which replies back to its consumer i.e service client, as well as about ICallBack Interface implementation which provides response to the user on screen.

Here I designed WCF service which is place order for client and reply back to client that order placed successfully or not. ICallBack interface implemented on page display response to client. Before I discuss more here is the screen that shows output

Place Order

WCF service placing order

Order placed successful or not

To accomplish this whole program get divide in two part
1) Design of callback WCF service
2) Design of WEB page with ICallBack interface to provide response on screen

Design of callback WCF service
Starts with the configuration file of WCF service. To make service reliable i.e send response back to client once task done.

<configuration>
  <system.servicemodel>
    <bindings>
      <wsdualhttpbinding>
        <binding bypassproxyonlocal="true" name="sampleBinding" usedefaultwebproxy="true">
      </binding></wsdualhttpbinding>
    </bindings>
    <services>
      <service behaviorconfiguration="returnFaults" name="Service.DemoService">
        <endpoint binding="wsDualHttpBinding" bindingconfiguration="sampleBinding" contract="Service.IDemoService">
      </endpoint></service>
    </services>
    <behaviors>
      <servicebehaviors>
        <behavior name="returnFaults">
          <servicedebug includeexceptiondetailinfaults="true">
          <servicemetadata httpgetenabled="true">
        </servicemetadata></servicedebug></behavior>
      </servicebehaviors>
    </behaviors>
  </system.servicemodel>
  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true">
  </compilation></system.web>
</configuration>
