Step 2:Add Service Reference to my applicati

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible to invoke as WCF service without adding a service reference.

As a first step, I assume that you have your service contact interface as a separate class library.

Step 2: Create your WCF service and host it in IIS

Step 3: Refer your service contract library in the client application and then follow this code

ChannelFactory factory = new ChannelFactory("EndpointNameOfYourService");
factory.Endpoint.Address = new EndpointAddress("http://example.com/service");  

IYourServiceContract client = factory.CreateChannel();
var result = client.YourMethodtoInvoke(serviceArguments);

Hope this helps
