.NET Forum / Languages / C# / April 2008WCF question!
This is a newbie question on WCF. I would like to know, is it possible to host WCF web services where there is no IIS installed? What is the bare requirement to have WCF service hosted on a box? So far what I read, all I need is framework 3.5. Is that right? I do not need IIS correct? Thanks. Correct. There are templates in Visual Studio (2008, or 2005 with the WCF extensions installed) that host WCF in a service; in 2008 the template is called "WCF Service Application" to demonstrate this (I don't have 2005 handy, but it is probably the same). You can also host simply in a console exe using the same approach. Note that https (for transport-security) is /considerably/ easier to configure with IIS, but if you are using message-security instead you should be fine. Marc Also - further to my last post, note that WCF is .NET 3.0; you don't need .NET 3.5 unless you are using the new WCF/WF bridge. Marc Oops; wrong project - in fact I can't find the one I wanted... but ServiceHost is the answer: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.servicemodel.servicehost.aspx Marc > This is a newbie question on WCF.
