WCF using ASP.NET   

Dear All,



I managed to create my first WCF application, which is the
HelloWorld.  Basically I created the HelloService.cs,
IHelloService.cs, and HelloService.svc, and everything works fine.



However I have an application I am trying to convert from the normal
asmx webservice to WCF.

My idea is to have multiple classes and interfaces in a layer, called
the ServiceLayer, and then 1 svc in another application, calling these
Interfaces, and hosted on IIS.



First of all is it possible to do.  And if it is, how can I achieve
that?  Does anyone has any examples to show.



Thanks for your help and time

Re: WCF using ASP.NET   

Hi

You are perfectly capable of separating your components into a hosting assembly and a service implementation assembly.
The only requirements posed by IIS is that your (ASP.NET) WCF host is able to discover the classes mentioned in your .svc file. This file (.svc) mentions a ServiceHostFactory class that is responsible of constructing the services upon activation from a client call.

So - just make sure that the class mentioned by FQN (Fully Qualified Name) in your .svc file is discoverable from ASP.NET (i.e. they are present in your bin-folder.
