Question

I have a WCF service that is hosted by a windows service. I can’t figure out how to inform the windows service when a client connects to the WCF service. Basically all I have in the windows service to start the WCF service is this:

private ServiceHost sHost;
WCF.WCFService wcfService = new WCF.WCFService();
sHost = new ServiceHost(wcfService);
sHost.Open();

I am able to call methods in the WCF service with the windows service using the wcfService object. Is there some way to have some kind of event that would fire when a client connects to WCF service?

I found the best answer here: Subscribe to events within a WCF service

As suspected you can create an event handler in the WCF service that can be picked up by the host.
