Vista - WCF client instances

Guys, I REALLY need an answer to this. I posted a thread ("Pukes on 12th
invoke") and no one responded.

When looping on creation of a WCF client, calling w/ it, destroying it,
repeat, the loop will freeze up. I'm trying to implement a WCF-standardized
remoting method on a web app that, from the web server, queries a dedicated
Windows service for indexed data. The WCF client will use either TCP or
named pipes.

How many clients can be created at a time in a single process for a WCF TCP
service?

If we are forced to use a single static client and impose thread locking,
performance will seriously degrade.

I wasn't calling Close(). Which leads me to my next post/thread ....

try
<serviceThrottling maxConcurrentCalls="20"
maxConcurrentInstances="50"
maxConcurrentSessions="50" />

in the app.config file. If I understand your problem correctly, this will
fix it. My test case consisted of launching 12 clients in a loop. 10 of
them created and the other two were waiting for resources to become available
from the host for more connections.

The msdn documentation lists the reference to the above configuration class
under System.ServiceModel.Configuration Namespace

As advertised, this is available as a configuration item or a static
reference in code. The only example I could find was for the config item.
If you find a code instance, please let me know.
