WebServiceHostFactory Class
A factory that provides instances of WebServiceHost in managed hosting environments where the host instance is created dynamically in response to incoming messages.
System.ServiceModel.Activation.ServiceHostFactoryBase
System.ServiceModel.Activation.ServiceHostFactory
System.ServiceModel.Activation.WebServiceHostFactory
Namespace: System.ServiceModel.Activation
Assembly: System.ServiceModel.Web (in System.ServiceModel.Web.dll)
The WebServiceHostFactory type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | WebServiceHostFactory | Initializes a new instance of the WebServiceHostFactory class. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| CreateServiceHost(String, Uri[]) | Creates a ServiceHost with specific base addresses and initializes it with specified data. (Inherited from ServiceHostFactory.) |
| CreateServiceHost(Type, Uri[]) | Creates an instance of the specified WebServiceHost derived class with the specified base addresses. (Overrides ServiceHostFactory.CreateServiceHost(Type, Uri[]).) |
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
The managed hosting environments that support dynamic activation are Internet Information Services (IIS) and Windows Process Activation Service (WAS).
If you have implemented a custom derivative of WebServiceHost, consider also implementing a factory that derives from the WebServiceHostFactory class.
The following example shows how to derive a class from WebServiceHostFactory.
To have your derived Web service host factory used, specify it in a .SVC file. The following example shows the syntax used in a .svc file.
<%@ServiceHost language=c# Service="Microsoft.Samples.MyWCFService" Factory="Microsoft.Samples.MyWebServiceHostFactory" %>
Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role supported with SP1 or later; Itanium not supported)
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.
