How to use ChannelFactory class in WCF client side code

ChannelFactory class is used in the way that create new channel with server side endpoints.
Msdn reference is here. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms576132.aspx


The sample code is also here.

 static void Main(string[] args)  
 {  
   ChannelFactory<IEvalService> cf =   
     new ChannelFactory<IEvalService>("NetTcpBinding_IEvalService");  
   IEvalService channel = cf.CreateChannel();  

   Eval eval = new Eval();  
   eval.Submitter = "Shingo";  
   eval.Timesent = DateTime.Now;  
   eval.Comments = "I love WCF";  

   channel.SubmitEval(eval);  
   channel.SubmitEval(eval);  

   List<Eval> evals = channel.GetEvals();  

   Console.WriteLine("Number of evals : {0}", evals.Count);  
   ((IClientChannel)channel).Close();  

   Console.ReadLine();  
 }  

Simply, we can also write like this. EvalServiceClient class was generated when consuming  service reference.

 static void Main(string[] args)  
 {  
   EvalServiceClient channel = new EvalServiceClient("NetTcpBinding_IEvalService");  

   Eval eval = new Eval();  
   eval.Submitter = "Shingo";  
   eval.Timesent = DateTime.Now;  
   eval.Comments = "I love WCF";  

   channel.SubmitEval(eval);  
   channel.SubmitEval(eval);  

   List<Eval> evals = channel.GetEvals();  

   Console.WriteLine("Number of evals : {0}", evals.Count);  
   ((IClientChannel)channel).Close();  

   Console.ReadLine();  
 }  

In the code, I get the results of GetEvals method as List<>. You can set the results of collection type easily. The step is like this.
