WCF Service Creation

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

If you post code, XML or data samples, please highlight those lines in the text editor and click on the "code samples" button ( { } ) on the editor toolbar to nicely format and syntax highlight it! — marc_s
The most important parts - the configs for the server and client side - are missing. Without those, we can only guess..... — marc_s
Have you clicked on the Microsoft link in the error message? It explains what it is about. — Josef Pfleger

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.
