Programatically discover a ServiceHost's Service Type

Question

G'day,

I've tried searching MSDN and here, but I don't think I can do this:

Given a reference to a ServiceHost, is it possible to discover the type of the host it is executing?

Something like

ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(MyContractImplementation));
Type serviceType = host.MagicCallHere();
Assert.True(typeof(MyContractImplementation) == serviceType);

Does MagicCallHere exist?

Bonus marks if you can dodge reflection...

Answer 1

You can check check the Descriptions servicetype property:

var serviceType = host.Description.ServiceType

Answer 2

Check as below :

typeof(ServiceContract) == host.Description.ServiceType
