I\'m just learning wcf and currently got this far.

Answer 1

// get the  /  config section
ServicesSection services = ConfigurationManager.GetSection("system.serviceModel/services") as ServicesSection;

ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(SelfHostedService.Service));

// enumerate over each  node
foreach (ServiceElement aService in services.Services)
{
    Console.WriteLine();
    Console.WriteLine("Name: {0} / Behavior: {1}", aService.Name, aService.BehaviorConfiguration);

    // enumerate over all endpoints for that service
    foreach (ServiceEndpointElement see in aService.Endpoints)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("\tEndpoint: Address = {0} / Binding = {1} / Contract = {2}", see.Address, see.Binding, see.Contract);
        //host.AddServiceEndpoint(
    }
}

try
{
    Console.WriteLine("Service EndPoints are: ");
    foreach (ServiceEndpoint endpoint in host.Description.Endpoints)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("{0} ({1})", endpoint.Address.ToString(), endpoint.Binding.Name);
    }
    host.Open();

    Console.WriteLine(string.Concat("Service is host at ", DateTime.Now.ToString()));
    Console.WriteLine("\n Self Host is running... Press  key to stop");
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine(ex.Message.ToString());
}

If still not work so delete current config file and reCreate it with its default name App.config, this is works.
