To obtain the hostname of the caller in WCF, you can use the OperationContext class that holds information about the runtime context of the current operation.
Firstly, add the reference to the System.ServiceModel
namespace.
Within your WCF service implementation, obtain the current OperationContext
by calling the static OperationContext.Current
method.
Access the IncomingMessageProperties
property of the OperationContext
to get the request message properties.
Use the RemoteEndpointMessageProperty
property of the IncomingMessageProperties
to get the IP address and port number of the client in the form of a RemoteEndpointMessageProperty
object.
Finally, use the RemoteEndpointMessageProperty.Address
property of the RemoteEndpointMessageProperty
object to obtain the hostname of the client.
Here's an example code snippet that shows how to obtain the hostname of the client in WCF:
using System.ServiceModel;
// Your WCF service implementation
public class MyService : IMyService
{
public void MyMethod()
{
// Obtain the current OperationContext
OperationContext context = OperationContext.Current;
// Get the request message properties
MessageProperties properties = context.IncomingMessageProperties;
// Get the client's IP address and port number
RemoteEndpointMessageProperty endpoint = properties[RemoteEndpointMessageProperty.Name] as RemoteEndpointMessageProperty;
// Get the hostname of the client
string hostname = endpoint.Address;
}
}
