Summary The WS-Routing specification maintains that endpoints must support the specification in order to be routed to by an intermediary. This C# Soap Extension enables the Web service developer to utilize a single attribute to enable WS-Routing on a service method.

The C# Soap Extension enables the Web services to optionally enable WS-Routing, i.e., if the method is 'routed-to' then the application utilizes WS-Routing.

Endpoints without support of WS-Routing cannot be routed from an intermediary compliant to the specification.
