In this post I am going to explain how to create a simple WCF Service, with Self Hosting and consume it, there will be 4 parts of the project. <\/font><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A Class Library (MyMathServiceLib.dll): <\/strong>which will implement our business logic. <\/font><\/li>\n
  2. Service Host Application (MathServiceHost.exe):<\/strong> Application which will host this class library as a WCF Service.<\/font> <\/li>\n
  3. A Windows Client Application (MyMathServiceClient<\/strong>.exe):<\/strong> Client Application which will use this service.<\/font> <\/li>\n
  4. A Web Client, <\/strong><\/font>that will use this Service.<\/font> <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note:<\/font><\/h4>\n

    <\/h3>\n

    part 1 and 2 can be merged into one, if one like so, but, for the sake of portability, keep them as separate modules. let\u2019s start with creating the Class Library.<\/font><\/p>\n

    Part 1: Creating the Class Library<\/font><\/h3>\n

    Start the Visual Studio, and click File->New->Project <\/strong>. Select the project template ‘Class Library<\/strong>" click OK. <\/font><\/p>\n

    Now let’s analyse the project created by wizard for us, and do little house keeping, before we write any code.<\/font><\/p>\n
