How to consume WCF web service through URL at run time?

Question

I want to access all the methods exposed in the service through the URL. if suppose the URL will be :

http://localhost/MyService/MyService.svc

Answer 1

You call it with a /functionname, eg:

http://localhost/MyService/MyService.svc/GetVersionNumber

Edit:

How do you configure your method in the WCF service so you can call it directly from the browser?

I have an Interface:

[ServiceContract]
public interface IWebServiceImpl
{
    [OperationContract]
    [WebInvoke(Method = "GET",
        ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
        BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare,
        UriTemplate = "GetVersionNumber")]
    string GetVersionNumber();

And a class to implement the GetVersionNumber method in the Interface:

public class WebServiceImpl
{
    public string GetVersionNumber()
    {
            return "1.0.0.0"; //In real life this isn't hard-coded
    }
}

Finally here is the Web.config configuration:
