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.
Assembly: System.ServiceModel.Web (in System.ServiceModel.Web.dll)
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" %>
System.ServiceModel.Activation.ServiceHostFactoryBase
System.ServiceModel.Activation.ServiceHostFactory
