Manual Context Management

How do I manually manage the context when sharing a client object? The default mode when using a context binding is for the context to be managed internally by the context channel underneath the client proxy. This is similar to how by default cookies

ChannelFactory Behaviors

How do I attach a custom behavior to a dynamically generated proxy object? This one should be easy if you've read the past two articles about modifying a ChannelFactory after creation. Although behaviors can't be specified while creating the ChannelFactory,
