A forum question was asking how to create a host that dynamically loaded up services deployed in DLLs. I told the poster to use reflection but he wasn't familiar with it so I thought I would quickly knock up a sample

The host looks in a folder under the directory in which it is executing. The service must be annotated with a [ServiceClass] attribute (defined in a library that accompanies the host). Then you set up the config file for the service ( [ServiceBehavior(ConfigurationName="<some name>")] helps decouple the config from the actual implementing type nicely

The sample is here
