webservicehost

I am trying to create self-hosted System.ServiceModel.Web.WebServiceHost (.NET 4), however I am running into an issue with the constructor. There are three options: WebServiceHost() a parameterless constructor that seems pointless, as there's no way to specify the type of the service, or even the contract. Reflecting on it, it doesn't do anything- just an empty default constructor that doesn't call base. WebServiceHost(object singletonInstance, params Uri[] baseAddresses) I don't want a singleton instance, as this is a InstanceContextMode.PerCall class. WebServiceHost(System.Type serviceType,

There are a lot of similar questions out there, but I have tried every solution in every one of them to no avail. We have a web service that initialises with WebServiceHostFactory, but if any more than 64k is thrown at it, we get a '400 Bad Request'. Normally, this would just be resolved by bumping up the MaxReceivedMessageSize, MaxBufferSize and MaxBufferPoolSize. The problem is that using the WebServiceHostFactory, the Web.Config is completely ignored. No changes I make in the ServiceModel section reflect in the service at all. It would be nice to just completely ditch WebServiceHostFactory

So, I have been messing around with webservices for a while now, and I keep getting back to some basics, that I never seem to get right. Question 1: When using a WebServiceHost in .NET/C#, you can define a method/endpoint as using GET/POST/etc. Setting up a GET-method is easy and it works pretty much directly, and its easy to understand how it works. For example: [OperationContract] [WebInvoke(Method = "GET", UriTemplate = "/PutMessage/{jsonString}", BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)] string PutMessage(string
