SvcUtil.exe为服务合同实现类创建自己的类名-WCF

Question

I've written a WCF service and hosted in IIS 6.0. When i try to create the proxy using the following command

svcutil.exe /language:cs /out:MyProxy.cs /config:app.config /a http://serviceurl

it is creating its own class name in MyProxy.cs. Why is that?

I was trying to step in to the service for debugging and i was not able to get the breakpoint hit during debugging. Could this be because i renamed the class name which is created by the Proxy?

In the service, the class name that implements the service contract is something like MyService . But in the proxy file i'm getting as MyClient .

Why is that?

Thank you

Answer 1

The MyClient class generated by svcutil and implementing the service contract should be used to invoke the service. It's just a client proxy. If you want to debug the service you should run the service in Debug mode and place a breakpoint there.
