There are 3 ways of hosting a wcf service.that are
1)using IIS
2)using SelfHosting
3)using WAS
- Hosting in IIS6 only support HTTP protocols and "on-demand" activation
- Hosting in IIS7 / WAS (only on Vista / Server 2008 and up) supports all protocols and "on-demand" activation
- Self-Hosting in a console app or Windows service supports all protocols, but doesn't support on-demand activation (e.g. your service must be up and running all the time, it cannot be magically activated when a request comes in)
Worth reading and very useful article "Hosting and Consuming WCF Services" found on MSDNnallyaPosted Sep 18, 2012, 7:20 AM
