How does Service.svc change in WCF when you start adding classes to the project?

[Ronald S. Cook]

I was able to do my first Windows Communication Foundation test project and
all worked well.

But now I want to add a second class to my service.

There is that Service.svc file that has only the following in it:
<%@ServiceHost Language="VB" Service="MyService.clsCountry %>

But now I've added a class clsState to my service. What now, am I do do in
Service.svc?

Does each class need it's own Service.svc file? I.e. Country.svc,
State.svc? If so, that will mean running svcutil for every class I'll
have.. yuk.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ron

Ronald,

You are right. You will have to generate a new service (svc) file for
each class that you wish to expose, and subsequently, a new run of
svcutil.exe on the client side.

You could just have one class that you expose, which is an amalgam of
every class that you wish to expose. This way, you only have to expose one
svc file. However, that will lead to an incredibly unwieldy class, and I
dont think you want that.

Hope this helps.
