I want to show the only 2 method to client 1 and 3 methods to client 2 and 1 method to client 3.
What will be the approach?

No way...
You can deny execution, but can not hide!

Implement some kind of authentication so only the clients supplying the relevant credentials can access the methods you want them to access. "Hiding" is rarely a valid security mechanism.

As Peter said, it's not possible to do this - with a single WCF-service.

But what you could do is this:

- Instead of a single WCF-service have 3 individual WCF-services (one for client 1 with the methods you want to offer to client 1, etc.)

- Don't implement the service-functionality directly in the service methods. Instead have a class that has all the methods your current one-for-all WCF-service has and delegate to these from the service-methods of the three individual WCF-services.
