WCF configuration files

[Andrew Falanga]

Hi,

I'm making a class library that must make use of a WCF client. I've
made the code and configuration files for the WCF client using svcutil
and put them into the library project. This works well (i.e. it's
building) but I'm wondering where are these files that svcutil pumped
out supposed to be located? How does the WCF client know to call
these files to know where to connect and so forth?

This is a concern because, obviously, this being a class library I'm
not sure from what directory it will run.

Thanks,
Andy

If the client is an ASP.NET Web solution, the WCF configuration entries must
go in the root Web.config, for the project.

If it's an exe that is the client, then the WCF configuration entries must
be placed in the app.config, which becomes exename.config located in a
location with the exe, for the project.

If it's a DLL that is the client, then it too must have WCF configuration
entries in app.config, which is placed in a Guid.tmp.config in the location
of the DLL that uses it, for the project.
