WCF, net.Tcp, baseAddress

[Guest]

Hello,

I have an odd problem with a windows service host - both as a console app
and a windows service (installed and uninstalled using installutil)

For some reason if I only use the baseAddress I'll get an
AddressAlreadyInUseException on the service.Open command.

If I specify a different address in the EndPoint or if I remove the
app.config endpoint/baseAddress and do it through code it works fine.

If I do a netstat there are no ports in a listening state until the Open
command is executed.

Is there a known issue with the baseAddress trying to assign a port twice on
the Open command?

This wasn't an issue until I uninstalled the windows service and ran the app
as a console app again (and for that matter a windows service). The service
was removed using installutil /u and I did restart my machine. Is there some
lingering settings somewhere that may not be uninstalled?

thanks,

Hi Duffman,

So the address binding problem also occur when you launch the WCF program
code as a normal console application(do not host it as windows service)?
If you're using the configuration file to specify the baseAddress and
endpoint address ,woudl you provide the configuration snippet on how to
specify the base and endpoint address?

Generally, if you have supply a base address in service configuration and
other endpoint's Address will derive from the base address , you should put
only relative address for the endpoint. e.g.

baseAddress="http://localhost/myservice"

endpoint Address = "endpoint1"(rather than
http://localhost/myservice/endpoint1)
endpoint Address = "endpoint2"(rather than
http://localhost/myservice/endpoint2)

is this also what you do currently?

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng
