How to enumerate endpoints urls?

Question

I have a WCF service. It uses settings from configuration file. It contains some sub-services working via http, net.tcp etc. I'd like to create a method which will return all configured endpoints urls. It will be used to provide client app possibility to receive url strings.

How I can do it inside of WCF service?

There are multiple services hosted inside of WCF service. Also, some of services have few enpoints (it may be http, net.tcp etc). To get a service metadata need to know its url. I want to provide a RESTful method, client app can query and get all endpoints addresses and then do what it needs. That is the client config utility. At least it will display addresses. — ZedZip, May 29 '15 at 08:22
*To get a service metadata need to know its url.* - the whole point of exposing metadata is you want other people to know the URL. — tom redfern, May 29 '15 at 09:03

You can try something like that:

    private static List<Uri> GetClientsInfo()
    {
        var adressList = new List<Uri>();
        var clientSection = (ConfigurationManager.GetSection("system.serviceModel/client") as ClientSection);
        if (clientSection != null)
        {
            foreach (ChannelEndpointElement endPoint in clientSection.Endpoints)
            {
                adressList.Add(endPoint.Address);
            }
        }

        return adressList;
    }

Also you can use "WebConfigurationManager" instead "ConfigurationManager" (depends of your Application type, more here What's the difference between the WebConfigurationManager and the ConfigurationManager?)
