    Anyone know how to do this? The tutorials I've found don't touch on IIS 7.5 and I'm stuck :S

    Cheers!

    A wcf web service doesn't need IIS to run unless you want it to be hosted as such. One can have a console application host a webservice. Why don't you go that route first before worrying about IIS. I provide an example of a local host on my blog article entitled: Create a Intra-Application Named Pipe using WCF in .Net using C#; IPC Communications. Granted you may not want to have a named pipe but the concepts are the same in creating a hosted web service in WCF. HTH

    Ok, thanks - will accept this as an answer until I discover it's not ;) I got the service to work in VS - will look at your blog when the migraine lets go :)

    Cheers!

    The point is to look into WCF to host your web service and there are multiple resources out on the web and books to read. GL
