Examples

Uri baseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:8001/Simple");
ServiceHost serviceHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(CalculatorService), baseAddress);

serviceHost.AddServiceEndpoint(
    typeof(ICalculator),
    new WSHttpBinding(),
    "CalculatorServiceObject");

// Enable MEX.
ServiceMetadataBehavior smb = new ServiceMetadataBehavior();
smb.HttpGetEnabled = true;
serviceHost.Description.Behaviors.Add(smb);

serviceHost.Open();

IChannelListener icl = serviceHost.ChannelDispatchers[0].Listener;
ChannelDispatcher dispatcher = new ChannelDispatcher(icl);
Console.WriteLine("servicehost has {0} ChannelDispatchers", serviceHost.ChannelDispatchers.Count);
ChannelDispatcherCollection dispatchers = serviceHost.ChannelDispatchers;

foreach (ChannelDispatcher disp in dispatchers)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Binding name: " + disp.BindingName);
}

Console.WriteLine("The service is ready.");
Console.WriteLine("Press <ENTER> to terminate service.");
Console.WriteLine();
Console.ReadLine();

// Close the ServiceHostBase to shutdown the service.
serviceHost.Close();

Dim baseAddress As New Uri("http://localhost:8001/Simple")
Dim serviceHost As New ServiceHost(GetType(CalculatorService), baseAddress)

serviceHost.AddServiceEndpoint(GetType(ICalculator), New WSHttpBinding(), "CalculatorServiceObject")

' Enable MEX.
Dim smb As New ServiceMetadataBehavior()
smb.HttpGetEnabled = True
serviceHost.Description.Behaviors.Add(smb)

serviceHost.Open()

Dim icl As IChannelListener = serviceHost.ChannelDispatchers(0).Listener
Dim dispatcher As New ChannelDispatcher(icl)
Console.WriteLine("servicehost has {0} ChannelDispatchers", serviceHost.ChannelDispatchers.Count)
Dim dispatchers As ChannelDispatcherCollection = serviceHost.ChannelDispatchers

For Each disp As ChannelDispatcher In dispatchers
    Console.WriteLine("Binding name: " & disp.BindingName)
Next disp

Console.WriteLine("The service is ready.")
Console.WriteLine("Press <ENTER> to terminate service.")
Console.WriteLine()
Console.ReadLine()

' Close the ServiceHostBase to shutdown the service.
serviceHost.Close()

Remarks

A ChannelDispatcher object associates an IChannelListener at a particular URI (called a listen URI) with an instance of a service. Each ServiceHost object can have many ChannelDispatcher objects, each associated with a different listener and listen URI for that service.

When a message arrives, the ChannelDispatcher queries each of the associated EndpointDispatcher objects whether the endpoint can accept the message, and passes the message to the one that can. The EndpointDispatcher object is responsible for processing messages from a ChannelDispatcher when the destination address of a message matches the AddressFilter property and the message action matches the ContractFilter property.

All properties that control the lifetime and behavior of a channel session are available for inspection or modification on the ChannelDispatcher object. In addition to the EndpointDispatcher, these include custom IChannelInitializer objects, the IChannelListener, the ServiceHost, the associated and InstanceContext.

Properties

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether to include the details about an exception in a fault.
