hi All the code snippet below would create a simple service host loaded from a normal app.config instead of having to understand the complex WCF service configuration

this is how we would initiate the servicehost..

 this is how the Servicehost override would look like ..

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.ServiceModel;

using System.ServiceModel.Description;

using System.Configuration;

using System.ServiceModel.Channels;

namespace MYFramework.ServiceModel

public class WCFService<InterFaceType, TypeImpl> : ServiceHost

where InterFaceType : class

where TypeImpl : class

protected EndpointAddress myEndpoint;

protected Binding myBinding;

public WCFService()

: base(typeof(TypeImpl))

protected void InitializeFromConfig()

//

// Initialize the configuration section.

//

// Create a channel factory.

switch (System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["binding"] as string)

case "NetTcpBinding":

myBinding = new NetTcpBinding();

break;

case "BasicHttpBinding":

myBinding = new BasicHttpBinding();

break;

case "WSHttpBinding":

myBinding = new WSHttpBinding();

break;

default:

myBinding = new BasicHttpBinding();

break;

myEndpoint = new EndpointAddress(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Url"]);

this.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(InterFaceType), myBinding, myEndpoint.Uri);
