How to execute some initial startup code on a IIS hosted WCF app?

Question

I'm trying to find a hook / way to run some initial code to wire up a bunch of things before a service is called.

any ideas?

Answer 1

Well, a simple way would be a static constructor on your service class? Presumably global.asax works too. Yet another route would be to write and register an http-module that listens to startup.

Answer 2

You could to implement an IServiceBehavior.
