What can I put in a .SVC file for IIS?

Question

I'm trying to find a definition of the directives that can be put into the file, but can't find any particular reference?

I know of http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa967389.aspx

which specified @ServiceHost

but you can also use @Assembly etc... But I can't find a definitive reference of what .svc is and what you can put in it?

Answer 1

The designer intellisense for the .svc endpoint file only shows @ServiceHost and @Assembly so that's pretty much your lot.

You would use the @Assembly attribute to reference to other source files or assemblies if you were in-lining your WCF endpoint code in the .svc file instead of in a codebehind file.
