[RESOLVED] windows Service - missing listener

[Bill Crawley]

Ok,

This is a culmination of my other post's regarding WCF being hosted by a windows service.

I've noticed that from the control panel if I get my windows service running then go to Task Manger/processes. My process can be seen and it gives me a PID let's say it's 2212.

Now if I go to a command prompt and type netstat -oan there is nothing listed for PID 2212 suggesting that there is no listener on my Windows Service, which might explain why I cannot reference the service. So back in my Windows Service App (VS2010). How do I add a listener?

Ok, in my windows service I have referenced a listener, now how do I set my WCF Method against the listener?? I.e. what goes after declaring my Socket in ListenerThread() ??
