I have around 15-20 services - each service has its own contract and implementation file. I want to host all these service in a console app so that it will be easier to debug during development.
Project structure
I have an app.config
file in the ServiceConsoleHost project here the sample text from config file...
<service name="TestpricingService" behaviorConfiguration="HostBehavior">
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="http://localhost:8000/testService/pricingService"/>
</baseAddresses>
</host>
<!-- use base address provided by host -->
<endpoint address="net.tcp://localhost:820/testService/pricingService"
binding="netTcpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="HostBinding"
contract="Test.Services.Contracts.IpricingService" />
<!-- the mex endpoint is exposed at http://localhost:8000/testService/purchasing/mex -->
<endpoint address="mex"
binding="mexHttpBinding"
contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="HostBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="True"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="True" />
<dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483647"/>
</behavior>
<behavior name="PooledHostBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="True"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="True" />
<ObjectPoolingServiceBehavior minPoolSize="0" maxPoolSize="5" idleTimeOut="30000"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
Thanks in advance...

as everyone mentioned you need 15 ServiceHosts to host 15 services. However they are not blocking. If you notice the MSDN code just sits waiting for a keypress whilst the service is running. This means all the service code is running on separate threads. So creating and hosting 15 services is not an issue. You dont need a "loop" as that is already handled once you do ServiceHost.Open().

You are probably looking for self-hosted services. See MSDN Reference on self-hosting using ServiceHost
.
Also take a look at enumerating WCF configuration bindings. Here is an SO post which describes enumerating WCF service and endpoint bindings.
