Is this a correct way to host a WCF service?
- by mafutrct
For some testing code, I'd like to be able to host a WCF service in only a few lines. I figured I'd write a simple hosting class:
public class WcfHost : IDisposable
where Implementation : class
where Contract : class
{
public readonly string Address = "net.tcp://localhost:8000/";
private ServiceHost _Host;
public WcfHost ()
{
_Host = new ServiceHost (typeof (Implementation));
var binding = new NetTcpBinding ();
var address = new Uri (Address);
_Host.AddServiceEndpoint (
typeof (Contract),
binding,
address);
_Host.Open ();
}
public void Dispose ()
{
((IDisposable) _Host).Dispose ();
}
}
That can be used like this:
using (var host = new WcfHost<ImplementationClass, ContractClass> ()) {
Is there anything wrong with this approach? Is there a flaw in the code (esp. about the disposing)?
