How to get Service Base Address in app.config?

1.3k Views Asked by At

I'd like to get the baseaddress specified in my app.config file which is "http://localhost:8733/SmgService/" from C#.

I looked into Microsoft's documents however, currently I don't know how to access this baseAddress from the C# code behind. Any help is appreciated.

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <configuration>
      <appSettings>
          <add key="aspnet:UseTaskFriendlySynchronizationContext"value="true" />
      </appSettings>
      <system.web>
        <compilation debug="true" />
      </system.web>
      <system.serviceModel>
        <services>
              <service name="SmgService.PrintService">
                <host>
                  <baseAddresses>
                    <add baseAddress = "http://localhost:8733/SmgService/"/><!--i need this address-->
                  </baseAddresses>
                </host>
                <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="SmgService.IPrintService">
                  <identity>
                    <dns value="localhost"/>
                  </identity>
                </endpoint>
                <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
              </service>
        </services>
        <behaviors>

            <behavior>
              <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="True" httpsGetEnabled="True"/>

 ServicesSection servicesSection = ConfigurationManager.GetSection("system.serviceModel/services") as ServicesSection;
        foreach (ServiceElement service in servicesSection.Services)
        {
            if (service.Name == "SmgService.PrintService")
            {
                foreach (BaseAddressElement item in service.Host.BaseAddresses)
                {                       
                    MessageBox.Show(item.BaseAddress.ToString());
                }

            }
        }







    string resultBase = "";
        ServicesSection services = ConfigurationManager.GetSection("system.serviceModel/services") as ServicesSection;
        foreach (ServiceElement service in services.Services)
        {
            if (service.Name == whichService)
            {
                BaseAddressElementCollection baseElement = service.Host.BaseAddresses;
                foreach (BaseAddressElement item in baseElement)
                {
                    resultBase = item.BaseAddress;
                }

            }
        }
        return resultBase;
