How to host WCF Data Service (OData) in IIS7?

Does anyone know how to host a WCF Data Service (or OData) inside IIS7? I'm seeing lots of articles about hosting WCF, but none specific to WCF Data Service.

Thank you very much.

Hosting a WCF Data Service in IIS is actually the default option.

Its a pretty easy 3 step process:

  1. Create a new WebApplication project (or re-use an existing one)
  2. Add a WCF Data Service to the project
  3. Deploy to your IIS server

Step 3 is just the standard process for deploying a WebApplication to IIS.

A WCF Data Service is just a WCF (REST) service, with some additional out-of-the-box functionality added in.

It has a *.svc file and all - it will be hosted very much the same as a "regular" WCF REST service.

So all the articles you see about WCF REST should really apply to WCF Data Services as well - or are you experiencing some difficulties with something specifically??
