c# - Unit Testing WCF Service is launching -

i'm new wcf. i've created basic service , engineer tested debugger , wcftestclient. i've never written own wcf client. need build unit tests service.

my classes:

ixservice cxservice cservicelauncher 

(yes, know c prefix not meet current standards, required client's standards.)

my service functionality can tested directly against xservice, need test cservicelauncher well. want connect uri , discover if there service running there , methods offers.

other questions read:

• addressaccessdeniedexception "your process not have access rights namespace" when unit testing wcf service - starts service host in unit test
• wcf unit test - recommends hosting service in unit test, makes vague reference connecting service via http
• wcf msmq unit testing - references msmq, more detailed need
• unit test wcf method - never knew auto generate tests, system isn't smart enough know assert.

test outline:

    public void startuitest()     {         uri baseaddress = new uri("http://localhost:8080/myservice");         string soapaddress = "soap";         iuserinterface target = new cservicelauncher(baseaddress, soapaddress);         try         {             assert.areequal(true, target.startui());             /// @todo assert.istrue(serviceisrunning);             /// @todo assert.istrue(service.exposedmethods.count() > 4);             assert.inconclusive("this tells nothing service");         }                 {             target.stopui();         }     } 

i needed build simple client.

1. add service reference test project

2. add test file:

   using system.servicemodel;

   using mytests.servicereferencenamespace;

code inside try now:

            assert.areequal(true, target.startui());             xserviceclient client = new xserviceclient();             client.getsessionid();             assert.areequal(communicationstate.opened, client.state, "wrong communication state after first call");
