Take the 2-minute tour ×  I am developing a web service from WCF
Service Application and I run VS 2010 Pro and reference the
localhost:<port>/<service> created by VS from my WinForm Project
at the same solution.  I just wonder how VS can run the Web
Service locally without installing the web service? Can I deploy
my Web Service using the same method?  share|improve this
question  1 Answer 1  up vote 3 down vote accepted  Visual
Studio has a built in ASP.NET Development Server.  You can't
deploy your service like that - in order for your clients to use
your web service you must first set up a web server (like IIS,
for instance).   Althought it is possible to expose your WS to
other parties using the ASP.NET Development server, it's not a
good approach to keep it that way. It is meant solely for
development  share|improve this answer Do you know the exact
Service Name of the ASP.Net Development Server? I can't find it
in the services.msc, the ASP.Net Development Server is currently
running on my PC. –  John Isa
