This example uses the steps that are described in the Connect to the Lookup Service and Retrieve the Service Registration Object procedure.

using System;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Channels;
using vmware.lookupservice;
 
// 1 - Create a custom binding for SOAP messages.
var customBinding = new CustomBinding();
var textMessageEncoding = new TextMessageEncodingBindingElement();
textMessageEncoding.MessageVersion = MessageVersion.Soap11;
var transport = new HttpsTransportBindingElement();
transport.MaxReceivedMessageSize = 2147483647;
customBinding.Elements.Add(textMessageEncoding);
customBinding.Elements.Add(transport);
 
// 2 - Create an object that encapsulates the Lookup Service URL.
var address = new EndpointAddress(lsUrl);
 
// 3 - Create a connection object to communicate with the Lookup Service.
lsPort = new LsPortTypeClient(customBinding, address);

 
// 4 - Manufacture a managed object reference.
var serviceInstanceRef = new ManagedObjectReference();
serviceInstanceRef.type = "LookupServiceInstance";
serviceInstanceRef.Value = "ServiceInstance";
 
// 5 - Retrieve the ServiceContent managed object.
serviceContent = lsPort.RetrieveServiceContent(serviceInstanceRef);
 
// 6 - Retrieve the service registration object.
serviceRegistration = serviceContent.serviceRegistration;
