Getting an error when hosting in a windows service.

I get the following exception when I am starting (webservice.Open()) a WCF
service. I have put the same service in a console host and in an IIS host
with no problem. Any ideas what I can change to successfully host in a
service? Inside the OnStart method I change the directory from
C:\Windows\System32 to the installation directory so that the configuration
file can be found. I don't know if that is the source of my problem or not. I
change the directory using Environment.CurrentDirectory = path and I do this
before the service is Open. I assume that the configuration file will be used
on Open?

System.InvalidOperationException: Service x.ServiceImplementation.XServices'
has zero application (non-infrastructure) endpoints. This might be because no
configuration file was found for your application, or because no service
element matching the service name could be found in the configuration file,
or because no endpoints were defined in the service element.

Hello, Kevin!

Do you have config file for the host?
Config file has to have to format
servicename.exe.config.

Yes, there is an equivalent servicename.exe.config.

After verifying that the configuration file is actually being read, check to
make sure that the Service type and the namespace of your service
implementation class all match, namespace, capitalizaiton and all.

Thank you.

I am not sure the best way to "verify that the configuration file is
actually being read" there are app settings that are getting set so I assum
that the configuration file (app.config) is being read. Namespace matches
(the implementation links).
