Asp.Net MVC and Web Services

Question

I have an existing Asp.Net MVC Website and I would also like to provide a Web Service from the same domain.

What is the best way to approach creating a web service in this scenerio?

Do I add to this project or...?

Answer 1

You should be able to add an WebService file directly to the MVC project. Right click on solution and select add new item, then select the web category and att the bottom of the list there should be Web Service.

Just remember to check that the routes does not eat up the call to the webservice.

That way the webservice can get access to the same model classes as the MVC application.
