      Open VS 2008>New Project>Console Application>Give the name> Select c# as a programming language.

      Now give System.ServiceModel reference to the console application project.

      Now,lets write Service Contract,operation contract and so on in our service application.

     

I am setting the port to 8000. your url format should be like this https://computername:port no/service name

        Now lets config the application configuration file(app.config). For configuring app.config, i am using a tool called WCF Service Configuration Editor. Please refer this link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms732009.aspx. It contains information about WCF Service Configuration Editor.

         

        Now check whether your application is running properly. If any errors fix those. 

        Now, Lets create the client application. give reference to System.ServiceModel. lets use a tool called Svcutil.exe to generate the proxy. open VS cmd prompt> type in as svcutil /out:proxy.cs /config:app.config "https://computer name:8000/service" . It will automatically generate proxy.cs and app.config in the specific location. Copy those files and pate it into our client app.

         Now Lets run this application
