Error in WCF IEndpoingBehavior when creating a new Message.

[ronscottlangham]

I am working on a custom WCF EndpoingBehavior that will modify the
messages coming in and out of my Service. I am having an error
related to the modification of the message in the
IEndpointBehavior.AfterReceiveRequest(ref Message request,...) method.

In the method that creates a new message, I have something similar
to ...

/// xmlReader defined with new modified content....
/// 'message' is the original message...

Message newMsg = Message.CreateMessage( message.Version,
null, xmlReader );

// Preserve the headers of the original message
newMsg.Headers.CopyHeadersFrom( message );

foreach (string propertyKey in message.Properties.Keys)
newMsg.Properties.Add(propertyKey, message.Properties[propertyKey]);

// Close the original message and return new message
message.Close( );

return newMsg;

This is similar to other code that I have seen on the Internet related
to creating a new message from an existing one. This code ran fine
when under the XP ASP.NET Development server, but when run on Windows
2003 Server (basicHttpBinding, HTTPS, Authentication) I immediately
get an error on the server side after the AfterReceiveRequest method
completes and processing the message. I get the following error...

System.ObjectDisposedException: Cannot access a disposed object.

I see where there was a similar bug in .NET before it was officially
release and supposedly fixed,

http://connect.microsoft.com/wcf/fee...dbackID=202762

Apparently, something in the new message or in the processing still
keeps a reference to the original Message and throws an error if it is
closed. If I remove the message.Close() then things work ok.

Any ideas on how to properly create a new Message?

What is the downside if I do not close the original message?

Thanks,
