    <p>Can anyone tell me the method to host a WCF service Library as a windows service? I have tried to follow various links but always get some or the other error. Either the service starts and stops immediately or the client is unable to access the service hosted on windows..I am using simple WPF app as a client.</p> <p>Also can anyone tell me difference between the end point address and the base address and what should be there set to while hosting WCF as Windows Service</p> <p>App.config for WCF service</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?&gt; &lt;configuration&gt; &lt;connectionStrings&gt; &lt;add name="mysqlconnection" connectionString="Initial catalog=calculator; data source=10.2.108.251; User Id=sa; Password=abc@123"/&gt; &lt;/connectionStrings&gt; &lt;system.web&gt; &lt;compilation debug="true" /&gt; &lt;/system.web&gt; &lt;!-- When deploying the service library project, the content of the config file must be added to the host's app.config file.

    1. COYou don't need to use `svcutil.exe`. Right-click the "References" section in Visual Studio and select `Add Service reference`. The service needs to be started for this.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
