How do I generate the .svc file?

Question

I created my first WCF service and tested it on my computer, and it works.

The files present are an interface, an implementation of that interface, and an app.config

IIS Hosted .svc file consists of the @ServiceHost directive and attribute, Service.

<% @ServiceHost Service="MyNamespace.MyServiceImplementationTypeName" %>

The value of the Service attribute is the CLR type name of your service implementation. Using this directive is basically equivalent to creating a service host using the following code in your self hosting console program.

new ServiceHost(typeof(MyNamespace.MyServiceImplementationTypeName ));

And If your self hosted application are using WCF configuration like 'endpoint', 'binding',etc in the app.config, you can also put that in web.config. IIS-hosted service use the same configuration elements and syntax as WCF services hosted outside of IIS. (Except something like you can't control base/endpoint address in IIS-hosted service.) And put your precompiled .dll file to application’s \bin directory of your IIS Site.

And the address of IIS-hosted service will be the address of .svc file. (http://localhost/Application1/MyService.svc).
