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

Console.WriteLine("Service endpoint {0} contains the following:", endpoint.Name);
Console.WriteLine("Binding: {0}", endpoint.Binding.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Contract: {0}", endpoint.Contract.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("ListenUri: {0}", endpoint.ListenUri.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("ListenUriMode: {0}", endpoint.ListenUriMode.ToString());

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

Dim endpoint As ServiceEndpoint = serviceHost.AddServiceEndpoint(GetType(ICalculator), New WSHttpBinding(), "CalculatorServiceObject")

Console.WriteLine("Service endpoint {0} contains the following:", endpoint.Name)
Console.WriteLine("Binding: {0}", endpoint.Binding.ToString())
Console.WriteLine("Contract: {0}", endpoint.Contract.ToString())
Console.WriteLine("ListenUri: {0}", endpoint.ListenUri.ToString())
Console.WriteLine("ListenUriMode: {0}", endpoint.ListenUriMode.ToString())

Remarks

Each service endpoint has a unique contract. From the ContractDescription, the OperationDescriptionCollection for the methods contained in the contract can be accessed using the Operations property.
