How to run WCF service on a specific port

Question

I have a .Net 4.0 WCF service running on IIS. I have not specified a port so assume it is running on port 80. I need to install my service on a server where port 80 is alrea

Answer 1

We can do it using the .csproj file of the WCF project(in case of using VS).Just change the value of this xml tag in your corresponding file:

To Run the service at port number 60000 ,

<DevelopmentServerPort>60000</DevelopmentServerPort>

Answer 2

I am assuming you are running your services on net.tcp protocols.

1) Edit your bindings (right click Default Web Site select Edit Bindings

2) Server Side

<service name="YouServiceNameSpace.YourService">
<endpoint address="" binding="netTcpBinding" bindingConfiguration="YourBinding" contract="YourContract" />
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexTcpBinding" bindingConfiguration="" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>

3) Client Side

 <endpoint address="net.tcp://YourHost:443/YourServiceDirecotry/YourService.svc"
    behaviorConfiguration="YourBehavior" binding="netTcpBinding"
    bindingConfiguration="YourTcpBinding" contract="YourContract"
    name="YourContractName" />

Answer 3

Normally you should have a services node with at least one service node and each having endpoints, where you can specify the port. See more at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733932.aspx

For example:

<services>
  <service name="MyNamespace.myServiceType">
   <endpoint 
      address="net.tcp://0.0.0.0:8000" binding="basicHttpBinding" 
      bindingConfiguration="myBindingConfiguration1"
      contract="MyContract"  />
  </service>
</services>

Answer 4

Specify the port in the address of the endpoint. See the 'Defining Endpoint Addresses in Code' section in this article for more details.
