Consume Restful WCF service in ASP.NET Web Application Examples
ASP.net Web Application Consuming WCF Restful Service Server Side
In the previous article I explained About WCF - An Introduction with Example, Register WCF Service with IIS and ASP Dot, Creating WCF REST Services in ASP.NET Web Based Applications.
In this article I will explain how to consume a WCF service in ASP.Net Web Based Applications. Follow the steps below:-
- First of all host WCF REST Service on IIS 7
- Now right click on project name and select "Add Service Reference".
- Now Enter your WCF web service URL and click on Go button to see a list of available services. All your available web methods (services) will appear on the pane below. Give specific reference namespace. Here I am giving reference namespace as "ServiceReference1". Click on Ok button to finish the Add service reference Wizard.
- After clicking on Ok button a service model will generate in your web.config file as follows.
