Okay.... I finally found the answer to not being able to browse to my WCF web service.
http://iweb.adefwebserver.com/Project/Blog/tabid/57/EntryID/34/Default.aspx I had to reinstall (Install?) WCF services. Something I've done in the last month essentially messed up my WCF services and IIS no longer knew what to do with it. All my code (unchanged) now works again. Thanks everyone for the help, it wasn't a wasted exercise (time consuming maybe) but I learned a fair bit. (Or should I say relearned some stuff I did two months ago and had forgotten hehe). cheers, Stephen On Wed, Aug 27, 2008 at 6:50 PM, Jonathan Parker <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: > Try this: > > > > class CustomHostFactory : ServiceHostFactory > > { > > protected override ServiceHost CreateServiceHost(Type serviceType, > Uri[] baseAddresses) > > { > > CustomHost customServiceHost = > > new CustomHost(serviceType, baseAddresses[1]); > > return customServiceHost; > > } > > } > > > > class CustomHost : ServiceHost > > { > > public CustomHost(Type serviceType, params Uri[] baseAddresses) > > : base(serviceType, baseAddresses) > > { } > > protected override void ApplyConfiguration() > > { > > base.ApplyConfiguration(); > > } > > } > > > > See here for more http://www.devx.com/RIA/Article/38117/0/page/4 > > > > *From:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *Stephen Price > *Sent:* Wednesday, 27 August 2008 3:49 PM > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* Re: [OzSilverlight] Silverlight WCF web service > > > > It seems more like an issue with how IIS is hosting the WCF service.
