K. G. Sreeju Nair - Create and Consume WCF service using Visual Studio 2010
Create and Consume WCF service using

Visual Studio 2010
Wednesday, December 15, 2010
ASP.Net 4 (/sreejukg/Tags/ASP.Net%204)
Visual Studio (/sreejukg/Tags/Visual%20Studio)
WCF (/sreejukg/Tags/WCF)
In this article I am going to demonstrate how to create a WCF service, that can be hosted inside IIS and a
windows application that consume the WCF service.
To support service oriented architecture, Microsoft developed the programming model named Windows
Communication Foundation (WCF). ASMX was the prior version from Microsoft, was completely based on
XML and .Net framework continues to support ASMX web services in future versions also. While ASMX
web services was the first step towards the service oriented architecture, Microsoft has made a big step
forward by introducing WCF.
An overview of planning for WCF can be found from this link http://msdn.microsoft.com/enus/library/ff649584.aspx (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff649584.aspx) .
The following are the important differences between WCF and ASMX from an asp.net developer point of
view.
1. ASMX web services are easy to write, configure and consume
2. ASMX web services are only hosted in IIS
3. ASMX web services can only use http
4. WCF, can be hosted inside IIS, windows service, console application, WAS(Windows Process Activation
Service) etc
5. WCF can be used with HTTP, TCP/IP, MSMQ and other protocols.
The detailed difference between ASMX web service and WCF can be found here.

Though WCF is a bigger step for future, Visual Studio makes it simpler to create, publish and consume
the WCF service. In this demonstration, I am going to create a service named SayHello that accepts 2
parameters such as name and language code. The service will return a hello to user name that
corresponds to the language.
So the proposed service usage is as follows.
Caller: SayHello(Sreeju, en) -> return value -> Hello Sreeju
Caller: SayHello(, ar) -> return value ->
Caller: SayHello(Sreeju, es) - > return value -> Hola Sreeju
Note: calling an automated translation service is not the intention of this article. If you are interested,
you can find bing translator API and can use in your application.
http://www.microsofttranslator.com/dev/ (http://www.microsofttranslator.com/dev/)
So Let us start
First I am going to create a Service Application that offer the SayHello Service. Open Visual Studio 2010,
Go to File -> New Project, from your preferred language from the templates section select WCF, select
WCF service application as the project type, give the project a name(I named it as HelloService), click ok
so that visual studio will create the project for you. In this demonstration, I have used C# as the
programming language.
(https://mscblogs.blob.core.windows.net/media/sreejukg/Media/clip_image002_4E47683B.jpg)
Visual studio will create the necessary files for you to start with. By default it will create a service with
name Service1.svc and there will be an interface named IService.cs. The screenshot for the project in
solution explorer is as follows
(https://mscblogs.blob.core.windows.net/media/sreejukg/Media/clip_image003_03EC87C9.png)
2/28
3/10/2014
Since I want to demonstrate how to create new service, I deleted Service1.Svc and IService1.cs files from
the project by right click the file and select delete.
Now in the project there is no service available, I am going to create one. From the solution explorer,
right click the project, select Add -> New Item
Add new item dialog will appear to you. Select WCF service from the list, give the name as
HelloService.svc, and click on the Add button.
(https://mscblogs.blob.core.windows.net/media/sreejukg/Media/clip_image005_36DC1830.jpg)
Now Visual studio will create 2 files with name IHelloService.cs and HelloService.svc. These files are
basically the service definition (IHelloService.cs) and the service implementation (HelloService.svc). Let
us examine the IHelloService interface.
(https://mscblogs.blob.core.windows.net/media/sreejukg/Media/clip_image006_66A69424.png)
The code state that IHelloService is the service definition and it provides an operation/method (similar
to web method in ASMX web services) named DoWork(). Any WCF service will have a definition file as an
Interface that defines the service.
Let us see what is inside HelloService.svc
(https://mscblogs.blob.core.windows.net/media/sreejukg/Media/clip_image007_78730224.png)
The code illustrated is implementing the interface IHelloService. The code is self-explanatory; the
HelloService class needs to implement all the methods defined in the Service Definition. Let me do the
service as I require.
3/28
3/10/2014
Open IHelloService.cs in visual studio, and delete the DoWork() method and add a definition for
SayHello(), do not forget to add OperationContract attribute to the method. The modified
IHelloService.cs will look as follows
(https://mscblogs.blob.core.windows.net/media/sreejukg/Media/clip_image008_367BF709.png)
Now implement the SayHello method in the HelloService.svc.cs file. Here I wrote the code for SayHello
method as follows.
(https://mscblogs.blob.core.windows.net/media/sreejukg/Media/clip_image009_366BD13C.png)
I am done with the service. Now you can build and run the service by clicking f5 (or selecting start
debugging from the debug menu). Visual studio will host the service in give you a client to test it. The
screenshot is as follows.
(https://mscblogs.blob.core.windows.net/media/sreejukg/Media/clip_image011_3A29760C.jpg)
In the left pane, it shows the services available in the server and in right side you can invoke the service.
To test the service sayHello, double click on it from the above window. It will ask you to enter the
parameters and click on the invoke button. See a sample output below.
4/28
3/10/2014
(https://mscblogs.blob.core.windows.net/media/sreejukg/Media/clip_image013_7B7478A5.jpg)
Now I have done with the service. The next step is to write a service client.
Creating a consumer application involves 2 steps. One generating the class and configuration file
corresponds to the service. Create a project that utilizes the generated class and configuration file. First
I am going to generate the class and configuration file.
There is a great tool available with Visual Studio named svcutil.exe, this tool will create the necessary
class and configuration files for you. Read the documentation for the svcutil.exe here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa347733.aspx (http://msdn.microsoft.com/enus/library/aa347733.aspx) .
Open Visual studio command prompt, you can find it under Start Menu -> All Programs -> Visual Studio
2010 -> Visual Studio Tools -> Visual Studio command prompt
(https://mscblogs.blob.core.windows.net/media/sreejukg/Media/clip_image014_5FEF76A2.png)
Make sure the service is in running state in visual studio. Note the url for the service(from the running
window, you can right click and choose copy address). Now from the command prompt, enter the
svcutil.exe command as follows.
(https://mscblogs.blob.core.windows.net/media/sreejukg/Media/clip_image015_03C82830.png)
5/28
3/10/2014
I have mentioned the url and the /d switch for the directory to store the output files(In this case
d:\temp). If you are using windows drive(in my case it is c: ) , make sure you open the command prompt
with run as administrator option, otherwise you will get permission error(Only in windows 7 or windows
vista).
The tool has created 2 files, HelloService.cs and output.config.
Now the next step is to create a new project and use the created files and consume the service. Let us do
that now. I am going to add a console application to the current solution. Right click solution name in the
solution explorer, right click, Add-> New Project
Under Visual C#, select console application, give the project a name, I named it TestService
(https://mscblogs.blob.core.windows.net/media/sreejukg/Media/clip_image017_41750FEC.jpg)
Now navigate to d:\temp where I generated the files with the svcutil.exe. Rename output.config to
app.config.
Next step is to add both files (d:\temp\helloservice.cs and app.config) to the files. In the solution
explorer, right click the project, Add -> Add existing item, browse to the d:\temp folder, select the 2 files
as mentioned before, click on the add button.
(https://mscblogs.blob.core.windows.net/media/sreejukg/Media/clip_image019_4CBE2429.jpg)
Now you need to add a reference to the System.ServiceModel to the project. From solution explorer,
right click the references under testservice project, select Add reference. In the Add reference dialog,
select the .Net tab, select System.ServiceModel, and click ok
6/28
3/10/2014
(https://mscblogs.blob.core.windows.net/media/sreejukg/Media/clip_image020_500F9604.png)
Now open program.cs by double clicking on it and add the code to consume the web service to the main
method. The modified file looks as follows
(https://mscblogs.blob.core.windows.net/media/sreejukg/Media/clip_image021_1CA3ACDB.png)
Right click the testservice project and set as startup project. Click f5 to run the project. See the sample
output as follows
(https://mscblogs.blob.core.windows.net/media/sreejukg/Media/clip_image022_2BF70EEA.png)
Publishing WCF service under IIS is similar to publishing ASP.Net application. Publish the application to a
folder using Visual studio publishing feature, create a virtual directory and create it as an application.
Dont forget to set the application pool to use ASP.Net version 4.
One last thing you need to check is the app.config file you have added to the solution. See the element
client under ServiceModel element. There is an endpoint element with address attribute that points to
the published service URL. If you permanently host the service under IIS, you can simply change the
address parameter to the corresponding one and your application will consume the service.
(https://mscblogs.blob.core.windows.net/media/sreejukg/Media/clip_image024_0A2B3659.jpg)
You have seen how easily you can build/consume WCF service. If you need the solution in zipped format,

Hi,
First of all i thankful to you to give a simple manner solution for the first time
WCF service creation.
I have created successfully the WCF Service Application adn when trying to
consume then got the below error:
Please Help.
There was no endpoint listening at http://localhost:3587/HelloService.svc that
could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or
SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
Thanks in Advance.

I have a service function

... string GetValue(string aGroup, string aId)
which must read a value from a database table filtered on the aGroup & aId
parameter's.
How can I achieve this ?
I've tried...:
1) adding an Entity Data Model but I don't know how to reference it from my
*.svc.cs module.
2) Considered using WCF Data Service but I don't want ODATA ?
Any help would be appreciated

Excellent job. A great way to just run a simple example. It helps to add more
detail explaining why each step is done and the significance of files generated.
Also, any alternative methods to generate files without using svcutil.exe.
Please keep it up. Great work!

@vishal yadav , Creating a WCF service application is absolutely possible with

there is no 'WCF service' project type anymore? i think its called 'WCF Service
Application' now...

The type or namespace name 'HelloServiceClient' could not be found (are you
missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
can any one tell what reference should be added.
I have added the Service.Model reference.

Could not find default endpoint element that references contract

'IHelloService' in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be
because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no
endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the client element.
