Suppose that you have a stuct with a few small ints that pack well into Int64 and while you want to use your struct as a type in C# you want it to be exposed as In64 via web methods - so that WSDL has it and you retain basic REST ability (simple types make GET invocation...

Is there a way to use a web service (WCF) WITHIN a web application?

I'm not talking about a service to be consumed by others, but rather a service to be consumed WITHIN the web app. So far, the only use for web services WITHIN the web app I came up with is when I need to call the database from the client (through AJ...
