• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) JulyCTP - Custom Service Host Factory - Service Util - Exception

  I came across an interesting exception. First, what we are trying to do: We have our own implementation of service host factory. In the overriden CreateServiceHost method, we read configuration files from a different location and configure the ServiceHost programmatically using objects in System.ServiceModel.Configuration. I wrote a system test (using VSTS), that simply calls the our implementation of service host factory (just like IIS does). After a call to CreateServiceHost method, I open the host (and let VS.NET run after freezing the test thread) and tried to navgiate to an end point using the browser. The page comes up fine with usual proxy code example etc. I then tried using the SvcUtil.exe with same url that I used in the browse ...Show All

As the book expects you to do after you read, do move your foundation to either Direct3D/OpenGL. ...Show All
