Create a WCF library¶

To create a library of test WCF follow the following steps:

• Create a new "WCF Service Library" under VS2008.

• Delete the generated classes Service1.cs and IService1.cs.

• Clean your App.config to look like the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <configuration>
      <system.web>
        <compilation debug="true" />
      </system.web>
      <system.serviceModel>
        <services>
        </services>
        <behaviors>
          <serviceBehaviors>
          </serviceBehaviors>
        </behaviors>
      </system.serviceModel>
    </configuration>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <configuration>
      <system.web>
        <compilation debug="true" />
      </system.web>
      <system.serviceModel>
        <services>
        </services>
        <behaviors>
          <serviceBehaviors>
          </serviceBehaviors>
        </behaviors>
      </system.serviceModel>
    </configuration>

• Right click on the project and choose Add-> New Item "; choose to add a" WCF Service "and call it" HelloWorld "

• Change the file HelloWorld.cs IHelloWorld.cs and so they look like this:

    [WebGet(UriTemplate="SayHello/{inputName}")]
    [ServiceContract]
    public interface IHelloWorld
    {
        [OperationContract]
        string SayHello(string inputName);
    }

   public class HelloWorld : IHelloWorld
   {
        #region IHelloWorld Members
        public string SayHello(string inputName)
        {
            return "Hello " + inputName;
        }
        #endregion
   }
