Course description
In this course, you will learn how to configure WCF Services. You will start by learning what an endpoint is and the parts that make an endpoint. Then you will learn how to use configuration files to define endpoints. This includes both manually modifying the XML file configuration, but also using Visual Studios Service Configuration Editor, which is a GUI tool that will modify the XML for you. You can also configure endpoints programmatically and you will learn how to do this via API. You will learn how to extend WCF services with Behaviors and learn how to specify behavior via configuration. Visual Studio includes a tool, Service Reference Settings, that lets you customize the behavior of a client proxy and you will learn all the details.
