I have a C# WCF service DLL that gets hosted by WcfSvcHost.exe when I debug. I would like to deploy this onto a machine nearby. What do I use to host this dll on the machine that I want to deploy it to?
Could someone point me to the needed documentation?
I know you can build the service as a .exe and make it self hosting, but I’d rather not do that.
Is there some way to make a windows service based on this WCF dll?
I also do not want to use IIS because the target machine might not have it.
There’s a few really good articles out there – basically, it’s really simple: you need some config for your WCF service, and a
ServiceHostinstance which hosts your service class (that implements the service contract) – and that’s about it!Check out these resources:
Should help a bit – otherwise come back and ask more specifically, if you have problems!
