Generating a Service and Client Proxy
In the previous lab, you created a service and client from scratch without leveraging the tools available to WCF developers. Although this helps you to understand the raw requirements for sending messages between clients and services, in reality, developers need tools to be productive. This time around, I’ll show you how to use several such tools that help you to generate services, access metadata, create configuration settings, and generate proxies. Specifically, you’ll use the following:
Visual Studio service templates
Service Configuration Editor
ServiceModel Metadata Utility (SvcUtil)
The primary goal of the lab in this section will be to improve your productivity for building clients and services, but several other concepts will be discussed in the process. To begin with, you’ll use declarative configuration settings instead of code to configure the service host and client. To enable proxy generation, you’ll access service metadata, which involves enabling a service behavior. In addition, you’ll learn more about service configuration settings for base addresses, endpoints, bindings and behaviors.
After you complete the lab, I’ll spend some time discussing these concepts.
