Can you have just one WCF service with static methods?

Question

I have a misconception about WCF services (I think) Can you have just one instance of the WCF service that all calls would go too? It seems I am limited to having to create instances of WCF class every time I need to call it. If I can, do I have to make it static somehow?

Answer 2

On the server-side, yes, an instance of your service is created for every request / transaction.

On the client-side, you should almost never try to reuse your proxy class. Instantiate, connect, call (you can even call multiple times in a loop), dispose.
