i followed this guide and build WCF project:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff649818.aspx
My client connect successfully from local and from remote machine and all this while run wcf service from Visual studio. After install the service on the machine and try to start the service (from services.msc) the service not started and received an error while try to start the service:
service on local computer started and stopped. some services stop automatically if they are not used by other services
This is my On Service1.cs
from WindowsService project
:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Linq;
using System.ServiceProcess;
using System.Text;
using System.ServiceModel;
using WcfServiceLibrary1;
namespace WindowsService1
{
public partial class Service1: ServiceBase
{
internal static ServiceHost myServiceHost = null;
public WCFServiceHost1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
if (myServiceHost != null)
{
myServiceHost.Close();
}
myServiceHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(Service1));
myServiceHost.Open();
}
protected override void OnStop()
{
if (myServiceHost != null)
{
myServiceHost.Close();
myServiceHost = null;
}
}
}
}
This is from windows Event Viewer:
The description for Event ID 0 from source Service1 cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
Service cannot be started. System.InvalidOperationException: The HttpGetEnabled property of ServiceMetadataBehavior is set to true and the HttpGetUrl property is a relative address, but there is no http base address. Either supply an http base address or set HttpGetUrl to an absolute address.

Goto Control Panel-> Programs and Features - > Windows Features
Inside Windows Features check for Microsoft .NET Framework -> ( For Web HTTP) Windows Communication Foundation HTTP Activation ,
For TCP,MSMQ Windows Communication Foundation NonHTTP Activation
I believe they should be enabled for self hosting WCF.

Change this line
myServiceHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(Service1));
to:
myServiceHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(MyWcfService));
or
myServiceHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(WCFService.Service1));
The Service1
is your Windows Service class
as I understand. In order to host your WCF service, you have to put your WCF service's class name.
