 AfterCall Method
This page is specific to
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008/.NET Framework 3.5

Other versions are also available for the following:
.NET Framework Class Library
IParameterInspector..::.AfterCall Method

Called after client calls are returned and before service responses are sent.

Namespace:  System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher
Assembly:  System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Sub AfterCall ( _
    operationName As String, _
    outputs As Object(), _
    returnValue As Object, _
    correlationState As Object _
)
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As IParameterInspector
Dim operationName As String
Dim outputs As Object()
Dim returnValue As Object
Dim correlationState As Object

instance.AfterCall(operationName, outputs, _
    returnValue, correlationState)
C#
void AfterCall(
    string operationName,
    Object[] outputs,
    Object returnValue,
    Object correlationState
)
Visual C++
void AfterCall(
    String^ operationName, 
    array<Object^>^ outputs, 
    Object^ returnValue, 
    Object^ correlationState
)
JScript
function AfterCall(
    operationName : String, 
    outputs : Object[], 
    returnValue : Object, 
    correlationState : Object
)

Parameters

operationName
Type: System..::.String
The name of the invoked operation.
outputs
Type: array<System..::.Object>[]()[]
Any output objects.
returnValue
Type: System..::.Object
The return value of the operation.
correlationState
Type: System..::.Object
Any correlation state returned from the BeforeCall method, or nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

On outbound calls from a client, the inspector is invoked before the request contents are serialized and sent to the service. The inspector is also called after the response has been deserialized but before the return values have been dispatched to the proxy method.

On inbound calls to a service, the inspector is invoked after parameters are deserialized but before they are dispatched to the service operation.

The following code example shows an IParameterInspector implementation that:

  • Writes the operation name and return value to the console after a response has been deserialized by the service or a request has been serialized by a client.

  • Writes the operation name to the console after deserializing a response on the client or after a response has been serialized on the service.

C#
#region IParameterInspector Members
public void AfterCall(string operationName, object[] outputs, object returnValue, object correlationState)
{
  Console.WriteLine(
    "IParameterInspector.AfterCall called for {0} with return value {1}.", 
    operationName, 
    returnValue.ToString()
  );
}

public object BeforeCall(string operationName, object[] inputs)
{
  Console.WriteLine("IParameterInspector.BeforeCall called for {0}.", operationName);
  return null;
}

The following code example shows how to use either System.ServiceModel.Description..::.IOperationBehavior, System.ServiceModel.Description..::.IEndpointBehavior, or System.ServiceModel.Description..::.IServiceBehavior to insert IParameterInspector objects.
