Hi!
I am using WCF service (self-hosted), net.tcp.

WCF host is a console application and the client a WindowsForm application.

Client opens form and it is blank. How I can make that clients form will stay blank until i run WCF host)???

For now -> if i first open client and then host. I get exception on client.

I hope that you did understand my issue! :)

Solution 2

If the client application throws an exception when the WCF host isn't yet started you'll have some exception handling to do in your client when making the connection attempt.
If you find that a connection isn't possible because the service isn't started yet, have your client set a timer that will enable you to retry connecting at after a certain delay.

Cheers,

Manfred

WTF! What were those for? To whomever it may concern, leave a note when you vote. I might be able to improve on my answer if had some hints to what the points of critique are.

Solution 1

You could just have the client app periodically check to see if the server app is running...
