Asked By Nani on 03-Mar-11 09:14 AM
Hi all,
How can i execute the WCF Services with out creating the Client like web services.
after creating the Service, if i Browse it should show the methods in it and if i click on that method ,it should ask for parameter.
how can i do that.
and also how can i set the End point.
Thank U
I think you can still do this under localhost

but I don't recall a setting to enable this in production. The UI offered up and the parameter data types it can accept is extremely limited as I recall.
Plus, in production, you'd want to disable metadata anyway to make it that much harder for auto detection and abuse of your web service. If you are going to expose the service in the form of a UI, you really should create a proper user interface for it.

Hi,
Just by running the WCF solution you get hosting information and another console window with metadata information, bindings and operation contracts available with the service, you can invoke your methods there and test.
