I have selected three different templates

Properties
References
Web.config
IService1.cs
Service1.cs

2. File > New > Project > WCF Service Application. (it contains in Solution)
Properties
References
App_Data
IService1.cs
Service1.svc
Web.config

3. File > New > Web Site > WCF Service. (it contains in Solution)
App_Code
>IService1.cs
>Service1.cs
App_Data
Service.svc
Web.config

(if you are not able to find WCF Service just look in complete List)

Can you please tell me what is the difference in these and what is the use of these three on different places.?
