这是什么类型的服务架构？

Question

I am new to silverlight and I have a general question. I created a new silverlight project and added a "silverlight enabled wcf service" to it. I created the service proxy in the silverlight project and I am able to hit the .svc file with no errors.

My question is, what kind of service architecture is this?? Its not showing up in IIS so its not hosted in IIS and its not a self hosted windows based service. Hows does this work?

Are there limitations to this compared to like a "self hosted wcf service" or an "IIS hosted wcf service"?

Thanks in advance!

Below is my endpoint configuration for the service:

<endpoint address="https://localhost/SilverBadger.Web/Services/DataAccessService.svc"
                      binding="customBinding" 
                      bindingConfiguration="CustomBinding_DataAccessService"
                      contract="DataAccessService.DataAccessService" 
                      name="CustomBinding_DataAccessService" />

Answer 1

That service is hosted in Cassini, Visual Studio's built in development server. It's just launched along with your project. It can be hosted in IIS as-is, or modified to run as a self-hosted service.

Answer 2

if you are hitting .svc... arent you at IIS...
.svc extensions means service hosting for IIS

maybe it is localhost
