Vista - How to find service assembly ???

Hi,

I have to use custom UserNameValidator in my service and I have multiple
services being hosted in one virtual folder.

e.g. IIS virtual Folder:

MyServices

service1.svc
service2.svc
service3.svc

Each service would perform its own work, web.config would contain definition
about each services. To provide custom validator for each service, I am
thinking of defining a common Behavior that I will apply to each service.
Validator would use DB connection to validate user, I have the information
about the db in each serialized file for each service.

Now question is, when the validator is called, how do I find which service
is calling the validator? Is there a way to reflect the domain or anything in
IIS hosted service to find which service is being called so that I can
reflect on the service assembly and deserialize the information stored in
seperate file?

Please suggest

Thanks in advance

Depending on how you structure your code, you should be able to use
Assembly.GetCallingAssembly() to figure out which assembly called your
validator.

BTW: In case you can get away with not reinventing the wheel. The patterns
& practices group at Microsoft have published bits along with source code,
to solve the same problem you are alluding to.
It is called the Enterprise Library 3.1
