I have created a "WCF workflow service Application". as of now, i press F5 and run the application. after which the service will be up and running. then i ping this service using SoapUI ( I have loaded the wsdl in the soapui)
How do i host/deploy this "WCF workflow service Application". ( I dont want to press F5 to up the service basically).
I have tried using this link.
But it is not related to "WCF workflow service Application"
First you have to publish the Service , you can try the following screens,for your reference check these links :

I have a WCF service with NLog logging in C#. This service references 3 class libraries. Every projects uses NLog logging.
In Debug mode everything works fine, every projects logs to the specified log file successfully. I use async file target.
In production mode I have a Windows Service that hosts the above WCF Service. This Windows Service contains the NLog package too.
After I install my Windows service I see only log messages from Windows Service and not from the WCF Service and the other class libraries.
How can I receive log messages to file from WCF Service after it's hosted by a Windows Service?
Thank you!
I wrote a wcf service that expose restful interface.
Now i using the iis as the wcf service host.
There are some action that i need to make on my application beside the exposing of the restful - and for this need i must run my application as a windows service.
But the using the iis as a host will not make my wcf server run as a service.
How to make it possible to using a windows service with expose wcf restful interface service ?
You can self-host WCF services, please refer to ServiceHost.
To be able to run the app in 2 different host models, you have to separate hosting stuff from you main code. The key point of it: you can use controllers created in the other library project.
I did this before:
Create a library project and move all you controllers and other classes there.
Create empty WFC service, add reference to the lib above and make it working.
Create an empty console app, reference to the lib, add self hosting stuff and make it working.
Add topshelf package to console app to be able to install it as windows service.
So you will get:
building and deploying WCF project you can host it in IIS;
building a console app you can run it as console app;
using topshelf install param you can install a console app as windows service.
Is it possible to run a post-deployment task (lets say a piece of code) immediately after the WCF service is deployed on IIS? I am using Visual Studio publish method to deploy the service.
Thanks
I'm working through an example on a website to create and consume a WCF service. I've created the service which is hosted in a windows application.
As per the instructions on the site I've created a ClientApp console app within in the same Visual Studio solution. Now the problem is that I cannot create a service reference to the WCF host project.
If I run the host project the Service is switched on and I can verify this by visiting the url in my browser. However, I cannot add a service reference to my client project while another project is running. The "Add Service Reference" option is greyed out. Presumably this is since they're in the same solution in Visual Studio.
If I try and add the reference when the host project is not running then I can get into the "Add Service Reference" screen but no services can be found (presumably because the WCF service is no longer running
How can I get around this?
The solution explorer is as in the image:
You could also try to start the WCF service in Visual Studio, then select "Detach All" from the Debug menu. This should let the service continue to run in the background, yet open Visual Studio to let you add service references.
In the Add Service Reference dialog, click the Discover button and select Services in Solution:
My solution constists of -
WCF service hosted on Visual Studio Development server. (Port 8001)
Web Application consuming services. (Port 8002)
I use start multiple projects in debug mode in visual studio solution.
Starting with WebApp debugging, I set few break points in WCF service code.
Issue:
WCF services breakpoint is not being hit. Although the code executes fine & returns the response to UI (WebApp)
These work fine when starting WebApp & Wcf services using two different solution.
Any suggestions ?
