I'm just getting started with WCF, and while it's nice if you directly generate a new assembly with WCF service (where debug automatically picks up that it contains WCF services, and shows them to you), and it helps you to write boilerplate (by using the Add Service Reference ...) I have a hard time to convert a small application from a home-grown messaging system to WCF.
It's an already existing assembly, so if I add a WCF class, I cannot easily debug it (running debug just says the DLL cannot be started as it's a DLL), and I want to host the service from an own application. However, this breaks the "Add Service Stuff", as it cannot find my service (I control both sides, but I lack a function to generate a service reference directly from the service interface -- at least, I cannot find it.)
Is there a good tutorial for getting started with WCF without using wizards and other stuff, just to get some bare-bone RCP working? I understand that WCF can do much more, but I couldn't find a good tutorial for using WCF for really simple RCP (just binary send/receive, and manually configuring the ports...)
