WCF with out a codefile

I’m always forgetting this.  If you want to use wcf using an assembly instead of a code file here is what you have to do.

1. Add the assembly as a reference.
2. change the svc file mark up to

      1: <%@ ServiceHost Service="<Concrete Class>"  %>

   
   

   
   
   
   



3. Change the service configuration in the web.config
   
   
   
   
   
   

   
   

      1: <service behaviorConfiguration="tricoder_serviceBehavior" name="<Concrete Class">

   
   
   
   

      2:   <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration=""

   
   
   
   

      3:    contract="Interface with contracts" >

   
   
   
   

      4:   </endpoint>

   
   
   
   

      5:   <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />

   
   
   
   

      6:  </service>

   
   
   
   

      7: </services>

   
   

   
   
   
   

And make sure that you use the full name of the concrete class and the interface.
