Hosting WCF on IIS??

[RK RK]

In general we create WCF Service Library Project with all available WCF Services, then create new WebSite Project of the WCF Service to host WCF services on IIS.

I am new to WCF would like to know what happens if we create just the website project (of WCF Service) create various services underneath?

What kind of services are you talking under the WCF service? You can have as many WCF services as you want in a project as long as they are using different TCP ports.

I am looking for more towards the different kinds of project templates.

In general when we host WCF on IIS 6/5.1
1. Create new WcfService Library project, then add all WCF Services.
2. Create new WebSite(of WCFService) project to host the WCF Service.

My question is, what happens if I create ONLY Single Website project (it creates .svc file rite) and create WCF Services in the same project and associate them with .svc.

Thanks in advance

I assume you mean you have a BLL or DAL Lib projects that is referenced by the the WCF project. Yeah you can do that.

2. Create new WebSite(of WCFService) project to host the WCF Service.

Yeah, you can do that.

My question is, what happens if I create ONLY Single Website project (it creates .svc file rite) and create WCF Services in the same project and associate them with .svc.

One WCF service can host multiple SVC(s) with their respective end points.

You should be doing Project references in the solution for all projects in the solution.
