WCF Named Pipes in a WPF Application

Question

How would you start a WCF service named pipe against the background of a Windows WPF application? I can't seem to find WCF server startup patterns in a WPF application.

Any ideas?

I am currently using the following code in Application_Startup. Do I need to run my own thread with it?

    Using Host As ServiceModel.ServiceHost = New ServiceModel.ServiceHost(GetType(Service), New Uri(("net.pipe://localhost")))
        '
        Host.AddServiceEndpoint(GetType(IService), New ServiceModel.NetNamedPipeBinding, "Test")
        Host.Open()
        '
    End Using

Answer 1

I removed the Code Usage block and set ServiceHost as a private variable in the WPF application class. Then I close ServiceHost when the application shuts down. This seems to be normal.
