Adding WCF service behaviors with code

Question

I know I can add service behaviors with some XML configuration, but I'd like to do it with a piece of C#, similar how you can add endpoint behaviors. I'm not sure how to do that, though.

In other words, how can I add the debug behavior I've instantiated below?

var host = new ServiceHost(typeof(MyService));
var endpoint = host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof (MysService), 
    new WebHttpBinding(), new Uri(myURL));
endpoint.Behaviors.Add(new WebHttpBehavior());
var debug = new ServiceDebugBehavior
{
    IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults = true
};
//WHAT DO I PUT HERE?
host.Open();

host.Description.Behaviors.Add(debug);

Thanks! It turns out I couldn't do .Add() because that behavior is already there. But this worked great: host.Description.Behaviors.Find<ServiceDebugBehavior>().IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults = true

What if this behavior is defined in confituration, but service in the code? How to add it to WCF host with code?

Also you can write an atrribute for your service e.g.

[ServiceBehavior(IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults = true)]
public class Service1 : IServiceChild
