WCF Web Service Client using a CookieContainer_问答_开发者

I have developed a small C# form application which calls a web service. Everything works nicely but I need to keep state and to do that I need to use a CookieContainer if I am not mistaken.

I created the Service Reference by using the "Add Service Reference" menu of my project and everything worked nicely. But I do not know how to add a CookieManager on the created client.

I found some examples that were showing samples like:

serviceClient.CookieContainer=new CookieContainer()

but this is not the case. My service client does not have such a property. I am suing Visual Studio 2010 Beta by the way.

Thank you in advance!

This is the resulted ServiceReference(which was automatically created):

Why revert to old technology, when you can just enable cookies on the binding?

http://megakemp.wordpress.com/2009/02/06/managing-shared-cookies-in-wcf/

Quoted: If an XML Web service method uses session state, then a cookie is passed back in the response headers to the XML Web service client that uniquely identifies the session for that XML Web service client. In order for an XML Web service to maintain session state for a client, the client must store the cookie.

The answer above only has a link to a very helpful article, but it has no other details
link the only answer is not preferred on StackOverflow and because of that here is the summary of that article

here is sinnept from the article

In the WCF world, things are a little bit different. WCF, being a transport-agnostic technology, doesn’t allow the concept of a cookie to be directly reflected in the high level API, since it is specific to the HTTP protocol. This translate in practice in the web service client objects not having any CookieContainer property to set and retrieve.

and here is the solution for WCF (that is also worked for me)

private static void Main(object[] args)
{
    string sharedCookie;

    MyWebServiceClient client = new MyWebServiceClient();

    using (new OperationContextScope(client.InnerChannel))
    {
        client.DoSomething();

        // Extract the cookie embedded in the received web service response
        // and stores it locally
        HttpResponseMessageProperty response = (HttpResponseMessageProperty)
        OperationContext.Current.IncomingMessageProperties[
            HttpResponseMessageProperty.Name];
        sharedCookie = response.Headers["Set-Cookie"];
    }

    MyOtherWebServiceClient otherClient = new MyOtherWebServiceClient();

    using (new OperationContextScope(otherClient.InnerChannel))
    {
        // Embeds the extracted cookie in the next web service request
        // Note that we manually have to create the request object since
        // since it doesn't exist yet at this stage
        HttpRequestMessageProperty request = new HttpRequestMessageProperty();
        request.Headers["Cookie"] = sharedCookie;
        OperationContext.Current.OutgoingMessageProperties[
            HttpRequestMessageProperty.Name] = request;

        otherClient.DoSomethingElse();
    }
}

This service reference in created using WCF and WCF is independent of the actual medium of communication that means these services can be used either using webservice or remoting or MSMQ. And remoting and MSMQ doesn’t have a concept of Cookies.

Better create your web service reference using WSDL.exe and add the resulting class in your project. I did the same thing.
