# WCF extensibility

You can implement your own binding, behavior, or channel when using customBinding by defining the `assemblyPath` and `typeName` by modifying the configuration file `<script directory>/WSDL/@config/[your config].stss`.

The `assemblyPath` attribute should have a value of either the full path of the dll or its relative path to script directory.

The `typeName` attribute should have the full type name: `ns.typeName`.

### Binding

Name the scenario attribute in the protocols element and provide the `assemblyPath` and `typeName` attributes.

The class you use for binding is inherited from `System.ServiceModel.Channels.Binding`.

### Channel

Add a new element under the customization node. You can specify any name for the element, however the element must contain the two attributes:`assemblyPath` and`typeName`.

The class to use for binding is inherited from `System.ServiceModel.Channel.BindingElement`.

Note: This works with customBinding scenarios only.

### Behavior

Add a new element under the behaviors element (which is under`endpointBehavior`) and add the two attributes `assemblyPath` and `typeName`.

To bind the new element, implement the `System.ServiceModel.Description.IEndpointBehavior` class.

Note: If you inherit from `System.ServiceModel.Description.ClientCredentials`, the client credentials from this class will be used.

### Examples of Channel and Behavior

    <protocols scenario="customBinding" uiType="customBinding" xmlns="http://ot/Services/config">

    <mode>Private</mode>

    <customization>

    <textMessageEncoding />

    <preferlrhttpTransport />

    <myChannel assemblyPath="CustomChannel.dll" typeName="CustomChannel.WCFChannel" />

    </customization>

    <behaviors>

    <endpointBehaviors>

    <behavior>

    <clientVia viaUri="qwqwq" />

    <myBehavior assemblyPath="CustomBehavior.dll" typeName="CustomBehavior.WCFbehavior" />

    </behavior>

    </endpointBehaviors>

    </behaviors>

    </protocols>

An example of overriding the whole binding (the configuration may contain just one line):

    <protocols scenario="userBinding" assemblyPath="WCFBinding.dll" typeName=" WCFBinding.Binding"/>
