Creating a service

There are three parts to creating a new service:

• Creating a class that contains the business logic
• Creating a service that has operations that reference operations to the class's methods
• Creating a service group

The service group is a collection of one or more services and acts as the service reference, should we consume it within Visual Studio. We will see how this translates to a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) in the next recipe.

In this example, we will have two service operations: one to get a list of vehicles, and one to update a vehicle's group. The XML documentation has been omitted to save space.
