WCF Tool: Convert binding to a custom binding

An extremely useful tool that converts any WCF binding to a custom binding: WCF Binding Box. Why? Sometimes it is easiest to start from a simple pre-defined binding and then modify it to do your thing. (this is also a good way of learning what goes into the predefined bindings – for example: its clear below that the BasicHttpBinding implments Soap version 1.1)

Here is an example of converting a BasicHttpBinding to a custom binding.

<basicHttpBinding>
        <binding name="AddressBinding">
          <security mode="Transport">
          </security>
        </binding>
</basicHttpBinding>

</customBinding>
