Chapter 3. Hosting and Debugging the HelloWorld WCF Service
In the previous chapter, we built a basic HelloWorld
WCF service and hosted it with ASP.NET Development Server. In this chapter, we will explore more hosting options for WCF services including hosting WCF services in a managed application, in a Windows Service, in IIS, and in other advanced WCF hosting applications.
We will also explain how to debug WCF services including debugging from the client application, debugging only the WCF service, attaching to the WCF service process, and the Just-In-Time debugger.
In this chapter, we will discuss:
Hosting the service in a console application
Hosting the service in a Windows Service application
Hosting the service in IIS
Testing the service
Debugging the service from the client application
Debugging the service only
Attaching to the service process
Just-In-Time debugger
