How To: Enable multiple netTcp port sharing for WCF end-points

  • Artykuł

Getting straight to the point, the checklist for this can be found here. 3 basic tasks need to be done: -

1. Enable port sharing by either adding an attribute in your code like below

NetTcpBinding binding = new NetTcpBinding("netTcpBinding");

binding.PortSharingEnabled = true;

serviceHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(MsiFacade35Service));

serviceHost.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IMsiFacade35Service), binding, "net.tcp://MyServer/MyServiceEndpoint");

Or by setting in the app.config like below=

<binding name="bindingNetTcp" portSharingEnabled="true" />

 

2. Enable and configure the Net Tcp Port Sharing Service – which involves the following

a. Enable the Application Server role with the TCP Port Sharing selected

b. Update the app.config for SmSvcHost.exe with the below config - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa702669(VS.100).aspx **

c. Restart the “Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service” from services.msc

 

** One GOTCHA: Though the link says to go to “C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation”, for .NET 4, you would need to update the app.config in the below locations based on the bitness of the box and the .NET Build.

a. C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30128 ** for .NET 4 RC – x86 CPU

b. C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30128 ** for .NET 4 RC – x64 CPU

You can confirm the correct location to update the app.config by going to services.msc and checking the executable path in the properties of the Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service.
