public static class WcfExtensions
{
public static void Using<T>(this T client, Action<T> work)
where T : ICommunicationObject
{
try
{
work(client);
client.Close();
}
catch (CommunicationException e)
{
client.Abort();
}
catch (TimeoutException e)
{
client.Abort();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
client.Abort();
throw;
}
}
}
Then use this instead of the using keyword:
new SomeClient().Using(channel => { channel.Login(username, password); });
Or if you are using ChannelFactory
then:
new ChannelFactory<ISomeService>().Using(channel => {
channel.Login(username, password);
});
