How to find out the reason of ServiceHost Faulted event


I have got a MyServiceBase class which inherits from ServiceBase. Inside MyService I Have got a ServiceHost for my WCF-service, whic has only one method with IsOneWay=true property. I used this code to initialize it:

host = new ServiceHost(typeof(MyService));
host.Opened += new EventHandler(host_Opened);
host.Closed += new EventHandler(host_Closed);
host.Faulted += new EventHandler(host_Faulted);
host.UnknownMessageReceived += new EventHandler<UnknownMessageReceivedEventArgs>(host_UnknownMessageReceived);
host.Open();

Sometimes host raises Faulted event, but EventArgs in *host_Faulted* method are always empty, so I cannot find out the reason of it. Please help. Thanks in regard.
