Meaning in Life

Authorization

This property gets the authorization level for the service being hosted.

AddServiceEndpoint()

This method allows you to programmatically register an endpoint to the

host.

BaseAddresses

This property obtains the list of registered base addresses for the current

service.

BeginOpen()

These methods allow you to asynchronously open and close a 

BeginClose()

ServiceHost object, using the standard asynchronous .NET delegate

syntax.

CloseTimeout

This property allows you to set and get the time allowed for the service to

close down.

Credentials

This property obtains the security credentials used by the current

service.

EndOpen()

These methods are the asynchronous counterparts to BeginOpen()

EndClose()

and BeginClose().

OpenTimeout

This property allows you to set and get the time allowed for the service to

start up.

State

This property gets a value that indicates the current state of the

communication object, represented by the CommunicationState enum

(opened, closed, created, etc.).

To illustrate some additional aspects of ServiceHost, update your Program class with a new

static method that prints out various aspects of the current host:

static void DisplayHostInfo(ServiceHost host)

{

Console.WriteLine();

Console.WriteLine("***** Host Info *****");

Console.WriteLine("Name: {0}",

host.Description.ConfigurationName);

Console.WriteLine("Port: {0}",

host.BaseAddresses[0].Port);

Console.WriteLine("LocalPath: {0}",

host.BaseAddresses[0].LocalPath);

Console.WriteLine("Uri: {0}",

host.BaseAddresses[0].AbsoluteUri);

Console.WriteLine("Scheme: {0}",

host.BaseAddresses[0].Scheme);

Console.WriteLine("**********************");

Console.WriteLine();

}

Assuming you call this new method from within Main() after opening your host:

using (ServiceHost serviceHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(MagicEightBallService)))

{

// Open the host and start listening for incoming messages.

serviceHost.Open();
