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
- Services over Basic HTTP or TCP
- Either No Security and Windows Transport Security
- No message level Security
- 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.

Simon,
I intended to have something out already. However my work and family commitments have kept me otherwise occupied.
I would expect to put a usable version out over the weekend.
var host = new WCFHost()
.AtAddress(“http://localhost:8080/”)
.UsingContract()
.WithBinding(new ())
.EnableMex()
.Start();
Would you consider open sourcing this project? The community could definitely use something like this.

Paul,
It not something that i would like to champion espically since i spend all of my time working with NServiceBus.
David Kirkland has done some work on this and the code is available at

Have a look @ http://www.castleproject.org/container/facilities/trunk/wcf/index.html
We use it for fluent configuration of our WCF Services, but it requires the Windsor container.
