Singleton Service
| Previous | Home | Next |
The singleton service is the ultimate sharable service.
When you configure a service as a singleton, all clients are independently connected to the same single well-known instance context and implicitly to the same instance inside, regardless of which endpoint of the service they connect to the singleton is created exactly once, when the host is created, and lives forever: it is disposed of only when the host shuts down.
