I'm currently working with WCF and looking for best practices for managing client channels and factories. I've seen a fair amount for ClientChannel objects, but what about ChannelFactory? It is a CommunicationObject. In theory it could go into a faulted state, but is this actually possible? Or is it reasonable to expect a ChannelFactory to always be able to create useable channels after instantiation?

1Yeah... I guess I was looking for a little more. The reply with the most votes states that there's a lot of initialization that's done at the beginning, which could cause a bad state, but I was to know if anyone else had seen a factory go into a bad state for any other reason. I was also wondering if it was ok, then, to let a factory live forever. – zedens May 12 '14 at 22:05
