POHow to host 2 WCF services in 1 Windows Service?
text
Body
copied!<p>I have a WCF application that has two Services that I am trying to host in a single Windows Service using net.tcp. I can run either of the services just fine, but as soon as I try to put them both in the Windows Service only the first one loads up. I have determined that the second services ctor is being called but the OnStart never fires. This tells me that WCF is finding something wrong with loading up that second service.</p> <p>Using net.tcp I know I need to turn on port sharing and start the port sharing service on the server. This all seems to be working properly. I have tried putting the services on different tcp ports and still no success.</p> <p>My service installer class looks like this:</p> <pre><code> [RunInstaller(true)] public class ProjectInstaller : Installer { private ServiceProcessInstaller _process; private ServiceInstaller _serviceAdmin; private ServiceInstaller _servicePrint; public ProjectInstaller() { _process = new ServiceProcessInstaller(); _process.Account = ServiceAccount.LocalSystem; _servicePrint = new ServiceInstaller(); _servicePrint.ServiceName = "PrintingService"; _servicePrint.StartType = ServiceStartMode.Automatic; _serviceAdmin = new ServiceInstaller(); _serviceAdmin.ServiceName = "PrintingAdminService"; _serviceAdmin.StartType = ServiceStartMode.Automatic; Installers.AddRange(new Installer[] { _process, _servicePrint, _serviceAdmin }); } } </code></pre> <p>and both services looking very similar</p> <pre><code> class PrintService : ServiceBase { public ServiceHost _host = null; public PrintService() { ServiceName = "PCTSPrintingService"; CanStop = true; AutoLog = true; } protected override void OnStart(string[] args) { if (_host != null) _host.Close(); _host = new ServiceHost(typeof(Printing.ServiceImplementation.PrintingService)); _host.Faulted += host_Faulted; _host.Open(); } } </code></pre>
