What are the tools available to debug WCF service?.
A:
I haven't worked with WCF specifically but is there some reason you can't attach Visual Studio to the process?

A:
- Attach via visual studio. As long as you dont have express edition you can use Visual Studio to attach to WCF services. That would be step 1.
- Use the message logging.
WCF Admin and Diagnostics - Use the tracing WCF Tracing

Depends on what you mean by debug. Certainly there are a lot of tools that are useful when dealing with WebServices and WCF specifically, besides the obvious use of the Visual Debugger or WinDBG. Here are some:
- WCF Tracing
- Service Trace Viewer
- TCP monitoring tools, like WireShark or TCP tunnels like TcpTrace or Fiddler
