Is there Any way of hosting WCF service on Linux. I read about wine but i didn't see any example of hosting WCF service with it.
P.S : I have tried mono and mod_mono but to no avail.

You can host it in a stand-alone console application like so:
using System;
using System.ServiceModel;
using Service;
namespace Host
{
class MainClass
{
public static void Main (string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine ("WCF Host!");
var binding = new BasicHttpBinding ();
var address = new Uri ("http://localhost:8080");
var host = new ServiceHost (typeof(GreeterWcfService));
host.AddServiceEndpoint (
typeof(IGreeterWcfService), binding, address);
host.Open ();
Console.WriteLine ("Type [Enter] to stop...");
Console.ReadLine ();
host.Close ();
}
}
}
Where GreeterWcfService
is the WCF service class itself and IGreeterWcfService
is the service contract.
Full working example solution in GitHub - with separate projects for the service, the hosting and a client. Check it out.
Its possible but you should refer to this link for understanding current state and known issues - http://www.mono-project.com/docs/web/wcf/. It's limited now. For eg. if you wish to use WSHttpBinding its not supported currently.
