Today, in this article let's see one of the interesting concept of how to make a call using Windows Phone 7 with WCF Service.

So, I think we all are good to go and implement this wonderful concept.

Let's get it started off!!!

The Complete Code of IService1.cs looks like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.Text;

namespace WCF_WP7_Call_Application
{
// NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the interface name "IService1" in both code and config file together.
[ServiceContract]
public interface IService1
{
#region WCF Operational Contracts

[OperationContract]
string Name(string a);

[OperationContract]
int Number(int a);

#endregion

}
}

The Complete Code of Service1.svc looks like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.Text;

namespace WCF_WP7_Call_Application
{
// NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the class name "Service1" in code, svc and config file together.
public class Service1 : IService1
{

public string Name(string a)
{
return a;
}

public int Number(int a)
{
return a;
}
}
}

The Complete Code of Web.Config looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>

<system.web>
<
compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
</system.web>
<
system.serviceModel>
<
behaviors>
<
serviceBehaviors>
<
behavior>
<!--
To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false and remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment -->
<
serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true. Set to false before deployment to avoid disclosing exception information -->
<
serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
</behavior>
</
serviceBehaviors>
</
behaviors>
<
serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
<
system.webServer>
<
modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
</system.webServer>

</configuration>

The Complete Code of MainPage.xaml looks like this:

<!--TitlePanel contains the name of the application and page title-->

<!--Sample code showing usage of ApplicationBar-->
<!--<phone:PhoneApplicationPage.ApplicationBar>

<shell:ApplicationBarMenuItem Text="MenuItem 2"/>
</shell:ApplicationBar.MenuItems>
</shell:ApplicationBar>
</phone:PhoneApplicationPage.ApplicationBar>-->

</phone:PhoneApplicationPage>

The Complete Code of MainPage.xaml.cs looks like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Animation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
using Microsoft.Phone.Controls;
using Windows_Phone_Call_Task.ServiceReference1;
using Microsoft.Phone.Tasks;

namespace Windows_Phone_Call_Task
{
public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage
{
// Constructor
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
static void NameCall(object sender, NameCompletedEventArgs e)
{
PhoneCallTask objDisplayName = new PhoneCallTask();
objDisplayName.DisplayName = e.Result + " via WCF Service";
objDisplayName.Show();
}
static void NumberCall(object sender, NumberCompletedEventArgs e)
{
PhoneCallTask objNumberTask = new PhoneCallTask();
objNumberTask.PhoneNumber = e.Result.ToString() + " via WCF Service";
objNumberTask.Show();
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{

if (textbox1.Text == "" || textBox2.Text == "")
{
textBlock3.Text = "Please Enter Some Values";
textBlock3.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
}
else
{
Service1Client objClient = new Service1Client();
objClient.NameCompleted += new EventHandler<NameCompletedEventArgs>(NameCall);
objClient.NameAsync(textbox1.Text);
objClient.NumberCompleted += new EventHandler<NumberCompletedEventArgs>(NumberCall);
objClient.NumberAsync(Convert.ToInt32(textBox2.Text));
textbox1.Text = "";
textBox2.Text = "";
}
}

}
}

The Output of Application looks like this:

Phone0.png

The Output of Application after Call Button click looks like this:

Phone1.png

The Output of the Application Calling Number looks like this:

Phone2.png
