Starting and Stopping a WCF Service

[Lightning]

You could try this:

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

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

But I haven't validated to check if this works, it could fail because the 2 servicehosts are both active. Why do you need the recreate the service anyway?
