Starting and Stopping a WCF Service

[Wokawidget]

Hi,

I have a WCF service, which I can open and close by doing:

Dim myService As MyServicehost = New MyServiceHost()
myService.Open()

myService.Close()

the issue is that while the MyServicehost is operational, ie up and running, I need to destroy it, and create a new service host:

Dim myService As MyServiceHost = New MyServiceHost()
myService.Open()

Dim newService As MyServiceHost = New MyServiceHost()
myService.Close()
newService.Open()

The problem with this is I have "downtime" of the service in between myService.Close() and newService.Open(). if anyone tries to connect while this is happening it fails.

how can I make the "downtime" as small as possibel?

Make sense?
