How do I pass values to the constructor on my wcf service?

Question

I would like to pass values into the constructor on the class that implements my service.

However ServiceHost only lets me pass in the name of the type to create,

Answer 1

I use static variables of my type. Not sure if this is the best way, but it works for me:

public class MyServer
{   
    public static string CustomerDisplayName;
    ...
}

When I instantiate service host I do the following:

protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
    MyServer.CustomerDisplayName = "Test customer";

    ...

    selfHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(MyServer), baseAddress);

    ....
}
