WCF project for debugging in .NET

Hi,

Windows communication foundation is a mixture of all old Microsoft technologies. You can do a lot with WCF. You can host the WCF on IIS or any web hosting server that support windows operating system. You can use HTTP,TCP, named pipes, MSMQ etc to transfer the messages. You can use the SSL for encryption and securing the messages. As a beginner, you can create a WCF service and then make an interface with service contract and various operation contracts. You can make another class with all data contract in it and then implement all the methods of the operation contract in another class. Finally you can host the WCF on IIS and then run the WCF service.

There is a lot you can do with and read about WCF. However, as a first step, you should try to make a simple WCF as being explained above. However, you can choose a problem as well. Try to make a WCF with methods to calculate simple interest and compound interest and then host it using IIS or any of the four methods. You will get the root of the WCF technology after completing this task.
