This is the first video in the weekly WF/WCF Screencast series.

In this short video, CSD MVP Aaron Skonnard from PluralSight guides the viewer through how to create your first WCF Service. The screencast walks you through creating the service from scratch in VS2008 - defining a data contract, a service contract, and testing/hosting the service in VS2008.

For additional information on WCF, please check out the WCF Dev Center on MSDN and the .NET Endpoint team blog. For more information on classes offered by Aaron and the PluralSight folks, check out their catalog of instructor led courses and new online courses that cover a variety of Microsoft technologies, ranging from .NET v3.5 to WSS to BizTalk server.

Both silverlight and downloaded versions work great in IE 8.

why do all these demo stop, when they get it running on the development server. We have to deploy these services to our hosting site. Which file do I deploy to my discount ASP.Net site?

To download it as .wmv file:

You see "Formats" below the Video.Click it and right click WMV(High).

"Save Target as " to your local folder.

 

The video is gr8 with good quality.

Better install Silverlight and upgrade your Hardware if any issues.

 

It works fine with Windows 7 and IE8 and Silverlight.

Please PRONOUNCE 'W' as Double - U, not DEV, or DUB.    It was aggravating and distracting to hear DUB - C - F, instead of the PROPER ENGLISH pronunciation:  "Double - U - C - F"

cool.  you can write a pretty quick WCF service/application/thing.  do you have one that EXPLAINS what you're doing?  Where is this data being stored?  Where can I find an actual enterprise/real world environment example beyond "for the purposes of this demo".
