If I understand you question properly you need some code that will add service in run-time without using any configuration in *.config file and *.svc files.

See that sample:

    Uri baseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:8080/hello");
    // Create the ServiceHost.
    using (ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(HelloWorldService), baseAddress))
    {
        // Enable metadata publishing.
    ServiceMetadataBehavior smb = new ServiceMetadataBehavior();
    smb.HttpGetEnabled = true;
    smb.MetadataExporter.PolicyVersion = PolicyVersion.Policy15;
    host.Description.Behaviors.Add(smb);

    // Open the ServiceHost to start listening for messages. Since
    // no endpoints are explicitly configured, the runtime will create
    // one endpoint per base address for each service contract implemented
    // by the service.
    host.Open();

    Console.WriteLine("The service is ready at {0}", baseAddress);
    Console.WriteLine("Press  to stop the service.");
    Console.ReadLine();

    // Close the ServiceHost.
    host.Close();
}

It creates self-hosted service in console app.
