About 2 weeks ago Simon and I started to work on building a fluent interface to configure WCF. Our main aim in doing so is to cover the the scenarios of configuring Services and Clients 80% (or 20%) of the time.

Our goals at this stage are

1. Services over Basic HTTP or TCP
2. Either No Security and Windows Transport Security
3. No message level Security
4. Include Service Meta Data

What this should enable us to do on the Service Host end would look like

var host = new WCFHost()
        .AtAddress("http://localhost:8080/")
        .UsingContract(typeof (IHelloService))
        .WithBinding(new BasicHttpBinding())
        .EnableMex()
        .Start();

I expect more on this shortly.
