This page is specific to
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008/.NET Framework 3.5

Other versions are also available for the following:
.NET Framework Class Library
VirtualPathExtension Class

Contains the service's virtual path when the service is hosted in Internet Information Services (IIS) or Windows Process Activation Service (WAS).

Namespace:  System.ServiceModel.Activation
Assembly:  System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public NotInheritable Class VirtualPathExtension _
    Implements IExtension(Of ServiceHostBase)
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As VirtualPathExtension
C#
public sealed class VirtualPathExtension : IExtension<ServiceHostBase>
Visual C++
public ref class VirtualPathExtension sealed : IExtension<ServiceHostBase^>
JScript
public final class VirtualPathExtension implements IExtension<ServiceHostBase>

This extension is only present for services hosted in IIS or WAS. Services can determine whether they are hosted in IIS or WAS by retrieving this extension from their ServiceHostBase, as shown in the following example.

The following example shows how to recover the VirtualPathExtension from the service host and return a value that it is hosted in IIS or WAS.

c#
bool isHosted = false;
ServiceHostBase host = OperationContext.Current.Host;
VirtualPathExtension vpe = host.Extentions.Find<VirtualPathExtension>();

if( vpe != null )
   isHosted = true;
Console.WriteLine("Is the service hosted in IIS or WAS? {0}", isHosted);
System..::.Object
  System.ServiceModel.Activation..::.VirtualPathExtension

There is a little mistake, line 3 of the example. You have to write "Extensions" instead of "Extentions".
