Is it possible to configure web service bindings for web-service client objects directly from the source code (aside from config file)?
Yes. It is possible to configure web-service bindings for web-service client objects not only with the help of a configuration file but also directly in the source code.
Here is an example of a WSHttpBinding configuration for the Token Management service:
WSHttpBinding binding = new WSHttpBinding();
binding.Security.Mode = SecurityMode.Transport;
binding.SendTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes( 1 );
binding.OpenTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes( 1 );
binding.CloseTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes( 1 );
binding.ReceiveTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes( 10 );
binding.AllowCookies = false;
binding.HostNameComparisonMode = HostNameComparisonMode.StrongWildcard;
binding.MessageEncoding = WSMessageEncoding.Text;
binding.TextEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
TokenManagement_1Client client =
new TokenManagement_1Client(binding, new EndpointAddress("https://api.rkd.reuters.com/api/TokenManagement/TokenManagement.svc/Anonymous"));
And if you need to set up a proxy server for your application you can do this by adding corresponding lines to the binding object:
binding.ProxyAddress = new Uri("http://proxyhost.com:8080");
binding.UseDefaultWebProxy = false;
binding.BypassProxyOnLocal = false;
