WCF Service Creation - wcf

Question

I am trying to build a small WCF service and wanted to utilize it in a test application.
PFB service code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.ServiceModel;
namespace HelloIndigo
{
[ServiceContract(Namespace="http://www.thatindigoirl.com/samples/2006/06")]
public interface IHelloIndigoService
{
[OperationContract]
string HelloIndigo();
}
public class HelloIndigoService : IHelloIndigoService
{
public string HelloIndigo()
{
return "Hello indigo";
}
}
}
Host Code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.ServiceModel;
namespace Host
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(HelloIndigo.HelloIndigoService), new Uri("http://localhost:8000/HelloIndigo")))
{
host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(HelloIndigo.IHelloIndigoService), new BasicHttpBinding(), #"HelloIndigoService");
host.Open();
Console.WriteLine("Press <ENTER> to terminate the service hosy");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
}
Whenever I am trying to run Host I am getting below mentioned error in host.Open() statement.
HTTP could not register URL
http://+:8000/HelloIndigo/. Your
process does not have access rights to
this namespace (see
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=70353
for details).
Can anyone help me with this

You need to run the host app with elevated privileges (i.e., "As Administrator"). Under Vista/Win7, only administrative accounts have the permission to register socket listeners.
