Deploy WCF Service to IIS when it only has an App.config

I've add a project type of WCF Service Library to my project. Doing this has allowed me to develop and test a WCF Service, however this service runs off an App.config and not Web.config. In addition, it has no .SVC file like my prior projects. What do I need to do in order to deploy this to IIS 6.

Regards.

If you're on Visual Studio 2008 SP1, there is actually a publish feature from the WCF Service Library template which you can use to publish to IIS. It's available through the Build menu, or from the context menu when you right-mouse-click on the project from Solution Explorer.

Basically four steps:

  1. take the <system.serviceModel> part from your app.config and put it in web.config
  2. Add a virtual directory to IIS6
  3. Add the service library's DLL to the ".\bin" directory under that virtual directory

  4. Add an MyService.svc file to that directory which contains :

That's about all there is to it!
