title: Reuse of WCF service clients
body: <p>I have a WCF webservice that acts as a data provider for my ASP.NET web page.</p>
  
  <p>Throughout the web page a number of calls are made to the web service via the auto-generated ServiceClient.</p>
  
  <p>Currently I create a new ServiceClient and open it for each request i.e. Get Users, Get Roles, Get Customer list etc.... Each one of these would create a new ServiceClient and open a new connection.</p>
  
  <p>Can I make my ServiceClient class a global or statically available class so that all functions within my ASP.NET web page can use the same client.  This would seem to be far more efficient.  Are there any issues with doing it this way? Any advice I should take into account when doing this?</p>
  
  <p>What happens if I make multiple requests to a client? Presumably it is all synchronous so it shouldn't matter if I make 1 or 50 calls to it?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
