Hai,

Iam developing a wcf application for IIS 5/6 hosting.I create a project WCFService3 in the file location "C:\Documents and Settings\sridharan\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\WebSites\WCFService3".After creating a website I declare the service contract in IService.cs with the following syntax.

string helloworld(string name);

In the Service.cs I write the the code

public string HelloWorld(string name)
    {
        return "Hello " + name;
    }

After running the above wcf application I Get the window "you have created a service" with the following line.

"svcutil.exe http://localhost:1137/WCFService3/Service.svc?wsdl".

My doubt is in web.config file whether i have to put the end point address is
"svcutil.exe http://localhost:1137/WCFService3/Service.svc?wsdl".

(or)

"C:\Documents and Settings\sridharan\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\WebSites\WCFService3".

In command prompt if i write "svcutil.exe http://localhost:1137/WCFService3/Service.svc?wsdl". the error is occurs.

"svcutil is not recognised".
please clear my doubt.My question is too length :)

To host a service in IIS you need to create a file with extension .svc and add following lines in it

XML

<%@ServiceHost Service="WCFService3.Service"%>

and following to your web.config with in System.ServiceModel tag

XML

<services>
     <service name="WCFService3.Service">
       <!-- Service Endpoints -->
       <endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="WCFService3.IService">
         </endpoint>
       <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
     </service>
   </services>

then create a client and add reference to this service from visual studio and this will automatically create endpoint for your client.
