Connection Pool Settings

Question

 

Hi,

 

how can i change the connection pool settings for net.tcp channels?

 

I would like to change IdleTimeout, because created but unused proxys are automatically aborted after 2 mins.

By the way, i am caching channelfactories and not using reliable messaging.

 

Thanks,

I'm not sure if this is the recommended approach, but here is some code from when I was playing with ConnectionPoolSettings.GroupName a few weeks ago (using different GroupNames can be used to force more TCP connections to be created):

 

public class PoolGroupTcpBinding : NetTcpBinding

{

private string _groupName;

public PoolGroupTcpBinding(string groupName) : base(SecurityMode.None, false)

{

_groupName = groupName;

}

public override BindingElementCollection CreateBindingElements()

{

BindingElementCollection result = base.CreateBindingElements();

result.Find<TcpTransportBindingElement>().ConnectionPoolSettings.GroupName = _groupName;

return result;

}

}

 

You should be able to use the same technique to modify the IdleTimeout, something like:

 

result.Find<TcpTransportBindingElement>().ConnectionPoolSettings.IdleTimeout = timespan;
