Microsoft Visual Studio 2008/.NET Framework 3.5

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

Namespace:  System.ServiceModel.Activation
Assembly:  System.ServiceModel.Web (in System.ServiceModel.Web.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Class WebServiceHostFactory _
    Inherits ServiceHostFactory
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As WebServiceHostFactory
C#
public class WebServiceHostFactory : ServiceHostFactory
Visual C++
public ref class WebServiceHostFactory : public ServiceHostFactory
JScript
public class WebServiceHostFactory extends ServiceHostFactory

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" %>
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
