In this video, we will discuss hosting a wcf service using a console application. Hosting a wcf service in any managed .net application is called as self hosting. Console applications, WPF applications, WinForms applications are all examples of managed .net applications.

Advantages of self hosting a wcf service in a console application
2. Easy to debug as we don't have to attach a separate process that hosts the wcf service.
3. Supports all bindings and transport protocols.
4. Very flexible to control the lifetime of the services through the Open() and Close() methods of ServiceHost.

Disadvantages of self hosting a wcf service in a console application
1. The service is available for the clients only when the service host is running.
2. Self hosting does not support automatic message based activation that we get when hosted within IIS.
3. Custom code required.

In general, self-hosting is only suitable during the development and demonstration phase and not for hosting live wcf services.

[eswarvoleti]

Hi Sir I seen your videos that are really awesome but
i have doubt that is can we add classes to wcf service references
because when we access classes that are not declared in services methods it impossible to access in web forms. is there any chance to retrive those classes in webform.

thank you sir.

Thank U for sharing. If I don't want to use TCP but rather use HTTP, what is the Base Address I must use to specify endpoints?

[Arunkumar_Techie]

Hi Sir,
I have one doubt in this session. You have created one End point for netTCP. Is it necessary to create an end point for metadata too?

i know its like you own a car
so this service runs on your server not someone elses server.

How to use ssl with self host wcf service?

[sanket]

Getting this error "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt"

[priyankabansal]

I am getting

The underlying connection was closed: The connection was closed unexpectedly.
The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive.
Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.

while trying to add service reference to the wcf service in the WindowsClient.

Can you please suggest something ?

Thanks

Wrong man.. You can add Non-Http Activation feature and use the non http bindings in the IIS hosted environment..
