How to access service from server

Question

Hi i just started working with wcf and maybe this is really stupid question but I haven't found any solution anywhere. I have simple console server application. i.e.: ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(SomeNamespace.Service)); Uri address = new Uri(@http://localhost:8080); host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(SomeNamespace.IService) new WSHttpBinding() address); ...and my question is: can I somehow access the instance of the service SomeNamespace.Service ? I can acces this instance through OperationContract from client app but is there some way to access it directly? Thank you !

ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(SomeNamespace.Service)); Uri address = new Uri(@ http://localhost: 8080); Look @ the Uri you are using. When you create a WCF Service u must deply it somewhere. and u should have a url for that just check whethe the url is accesible from your server or not if yes then u should be able to invike the Service. But obviously localhost is not the way to call it should have a machine name or IP atleast like ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(SomeNamespace.Service)); Uri address = new Uri(@ http://ABSCD-MyMachine: 8080); Soumen India
