WCF from theory to practice: WCF solution templates

The so-called Maito, although VS2008 provides us with the Wcfservicelibrary project template, but in the actual development, we usually prefer to set up the WCF project in their own way, usually, we will service contract (usually interface) data contract, A contract, such as a message contract, is a project, and the implementation of the service as a separate project, in addition to a WCF service hosting program, Service agent project, client program. I made a generic template for a WCF solution in this way. The project list is as follows:

Project name	Description
Wcf.contracts	Contract project, used to define service contracts, data contracts, error contracts, message contracts, etc.
Wcf.servicelib	Service Implementation Project
Wcf.host	Host of a service for the console
Wcf.webservicehost	An IIS Host
Wcf.proxys	Service Agent Project
Wcf.client	Client Project

In the console host, there are three kinds of managed methods

NetTcpBinding Suitable for LAN

BasicHttpBinding similar to XML Web service

Wsdualhttpbinding similar to WSE and with callback support

It also specifies that the starter project for the solution is wcf.host and wcf.client for multiple startup projects, which is more conducive to the debugging of WCF projects.
