Obtaining client IP address in WCF 3.0
Apparently you can easily obtain a client IP address in WCF 3.5 but not in WCF 3.0. Anyone know how?
Solution 1:
This doesn't help you in 3.0, but I can just see people finding this question and being frustrated because they are trying to get the client IP address in 3.5. So, here's some code which should work:
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Channels;
OperationContext context = OperationContext.Current;
MessageProperties prop = context.IncomingMessageProperties;
RemoteEndpointMessageProperty endpoint =
prop[RemoteEndpointMessageProperty.Name] as RemoteEndpointMessageProperty;
string ip = endpoint.Address;
Solution 2:
It turns out you can, so long as (a) your service is being hosted in a Web Service (obviously) and (b) you enable AspNetCompatibility mode, as follows:
<system.serviceModel>
<!-- this enables WCF services to access ASP.Net http context -->
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"/>
...
</system.serviceModel>
And then you can get the IP address by:
HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress
Solution 3:
You can if you are targeting .NET 3.0 SP1.
OperationContext context = OperationContext.Current;
MessageProperties prop = context.IncomingMessageProperties;
RemoteEndpointMessageProperty endpoint = prop[RemoteEndpointMessageProperty.Name] as RemoteEndpointMessageProperty;
string ip = endpoint.Address;
