在Windows Azure上测试WCF服务

Question

I created a WCF service in Windows Azure project (with 1 WCF Service Web Role).

How can I test it at my local machine? If I want to write an application, which makes a request to this service, what reference in the application should I add?

When I press F5 in this project, it shows me a web page in browser, where it is written "HTTP error 403.14 - Forbidden".

Sorry for such a silly question =)

Answer 1

使用uri将测试引用的服务引用添加到Azure上公开的服务

Answer 2

Set the Azure project as the start up project. This will start the azure emulator which will host your wcf service on localhost. I believe it automatically opens a browser with your site loaded. If not, you can always check out the emulator itself in your system tray to get the ports (very similar to the way you would with development server). Of course you must be on the correct path to your service as well.
