// create a new instance of your service host ServiceHost myServiceHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(MyService)); // start the service myServiceHost.Open(); // close service myServiceHost.Close();
// create a new instance of your service host ServiceHost myServiceHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(MyService)); try { // start the service myServiceHost.Open(); // do some work with the service // close service myServiceHost.Close(); } catch (Exception ex) { // handle any exceptions myServiceHost.Abort(); }In this example, the Open and Close methods are called within a try/catch block to handle any exceptions that occur. If an exception is caught, the Abort method is called to forcefully shut down the service instead of attempting to gracefully close it.
