How to: Host and Run a Basic Windows Communication Foundation Service

發行項
08/07/2009

This is the third of six tasks required to create a basic Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) service and a client that can call the service. For an overview of all six of the tasks, see the Getting Started Tutorial topic.

This topic describes how to run a basic Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) service. This procedure consists of the following steps:

Create a base address for the service.
Create a service host for the service.
Enable metadata exchange.
Open the service host.

A complete listing of the code written in this task is provided in the example following the procedure. Add the following code into the Main() method defined in the Program class. This class was generated when you created the Service solution.

To configure a base address for the service

Create a Uri instance for the base address of the service. This URI specifies the HTTP scheme, your local machine, port number 8000, and the path ServiceModelSample/Service to the service that was specified for the namespace of the service in the service contract.
```
Dim baseAddress As New Uri("https://localhost:8000/ServiceModelSamples/Service")
```
```
Uri baseAddress = new Uri("https://localhost:8000/ServiceModelSamples/Service");
```

To host the service

Import the System.ServiceModel.Description namespace. This line of code should be placed at the top of the Program.cs/Program.vb file with the rest of the using or imports statements.
```
Imports System.ServiceModel.Description
```
```
using System.ServiceModel.Description;
```
Create a new ServiceHost instance to host the service. You must specify the type that implements the service contract and the base address. For this sample the base address is https://localhost:8000/ServiceModelSamples/Service and CalculatorService is the type that implements the service contract.
```
Dim selfHost As New ServiceHost(GetType(CalculatorService), baseAddress)
```
```
ServiceHost selfHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(CalculatorService), baseAddress);
```
Add a try-catch statement that catches a CommunicationException and add the code in the next three steps to the try block. The catch clause should display an error message and then call selfHost.Abort().
```
Try
    ' ...
Catch ce As CommunicationException
    Console.WriteLine("An exception occurred: {0}", ce.Message)
    selfHost.Abort()
End Try
```
Add an endpoint that exposes the service. To do this, you must specify the contract that the endpoint is exposing, a binding, and the address for the endpoint. For this sample, specify ICalculator as the contract, WSHttpBinding as the binding, and CalculatorService as the address. Notice here the endpoint address is a relative address. The full address for the endpoint is the combination of the base address and the endpoint address. In this case the full address is https://localhost:8000/ServiceModelSamples/Service/CalculatorService.
```
' Add a service endpoint
selfHost.AddServiceEndpoint( _
    GetType(ICalculator), _
    New WSHttpBinding(), _
    "CalculatorService")
```
```
selfHost.AddServiceEndpoint(
    typeof(ICalculator),
    new WSHttpBinding(),
    "CalculatorService");
```
Enable Metadata Exchange. To do this, add a service metadata behavior. First create a ServiceMetadataBehavior instance, set the HttpGetEnabled property to true, and then add the new behavior to the service. For more information about security issues when publishing metadata, see Security Considerations with Metadata.
```
' Enable metadata exchange
Dim smb As New ServiceMetadataBehavior()
smb.HttpGetEnabled = True
selfHost.Description.Behaviors.Add(smb)
```
```
ServiceMetadataBehavior smb = new ServiceMetadataBehavior();
smb.HttpGetEnabled = true;
selfHost.Description.Behaviors.Add(smb);
```

Open the ServiceHost and wait for incoming messages. When the user presses the ENTER key, close the ServiceHost.

selfHost.Open()
Console.WriteLine("The service is ready.")
Console.WriteLine("Press <ENTER> to terminate service.")
Console.WriteLine()
Console.ReadLine()

' Close the ServiceHostBase to shutdown the service.
selfHost.Close()

selfHost.Open();
Console.WriteLine("The service is ready.");
Console.WriteLine("Press <ENTER> to terminate service.");
Console.WriteLine();
Console.ReadLine();

// Close the ServiceHostBase to shutdown the service.
selfHost.Close();

To verify the service is working

Run the service.exe from inside Visual Studio. When running on Windows Vista, the service must be run with administrator privileges. Because Visual Studio was run with Administrator privileges, service.exe is also run with Administrator privileges. You can also start a new command prompt running it with Administrator privileges and run service.exe within it.
Open Internet Explorer and browse to the service's debug page at https://localhost:8000/ServiceModelSamples/Service.

Example

The following example includes the service contract and implementation from previous steps in the tutorial and hosts the service in a console application. Compile the following into an executable named Service.exe.

Be sure to reference System.ServiceModel.dll when compiling the code.

Note:
Services such as this one require permission to register HTTP addresses on the machine for listening. Administrator accounts have this permission, but non-administrator accounts must be granted permission for HTTP namespaces. For more information about how to configure namespace reservations, see Configuring HTTP and HTTPS. When running under Visual Studio, the service.exe must be run with administrator privileges.
