How to restart a wcf server from within a client?
- by djerry
Hey guys,
I'm using Wcf for server - client communication. The server will need to run as a service, so there's no GUI. The admin can change settings using the client program and for those changes to be made on server, it needs to restart.
This is my server setup
NetTcpBinding binding = new NetTcpBinding(SecurityMode.Message);
Uri address = new Uri("net.tcp://localhost:8000");
//_svc = new ServiceHost(typeof(MonitoringSystemService), address);
_monSysService = new MonitoringSystemService();
_svc = new ServiceHost(_monSysService, address);
publishMetaData(_svc, "http://localhost:8001");
_svc.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IMonitoringSystemService), binding, "Monitoring Server");
_svc.Open();
MonitoringSystemService is a class i'm using to handle client - server comm. It looks like this:
[CallbackBehavior(ConcurrencyMode = ConcurrencyMode.Reentrant)]
[ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.Single, MaxItemsInObjectGraph = 2147483647)]
public class MonitoringSystemService : IMonitoringSystemService
{}
So i need to call a restart method on the client to the server, but i don't know how to restart (even stop - start) the server.
I hope i'm not missing any vital information.
Thanks in advance.
