How to write a custom service host in WCF?

Question

Hi All,

How to write a custom service host in WCF? I want to have more control on service host. Please guide me to write my custom service host?

Answer 1

You basically just need to derive from the base ServiceHost class. Anything else is totally up to you.

What do you want to improve upon? Where do you see things you need to do better or different than the standard ServiceHost class?

See these articles and blog post for samples and recipes on how to do it:

• Extending ServiceHost and the Service Model Layer
• Custom ServiceHost Factory for WCF and IIS
