Can a WCF service.config file be changed on the fly?

Its a newbie question, and I have just been learning WCF. Can we change the service.config file of a WCF service on the fly without restarting the App Pool or doing the deployment?

Regards, Bhavik

No, IIS will automatically detect the change to the config file and recycle the app pool automatically for you. So in a sense, the app pool does have to be recycled, but it handles it for you.

If you're hosting your services in IIS and you change the web.config file, the app pool will automatically recycle.
