Using WCF with non-microsoft clients

The default wsdl that WCF creates isn't very friendly for human's and other non-microsoft clients to read. To remedy this you can intsall WCFExtras: http://wcfextras.codeplex.com/

To use it, in your endpoint declaration add a "behaviorConfiguration" element with a name something like "WsdlRedirect". Then add an endpointBehaviors declaration something like this:

    <behaviors> 

      <endpointBehaviors> 

        <behavior name="WsdlRedirect"> 

          <wsdlExtensions location="https://testwebservices.website.ca/SomeService.svc" 

                          singleFile="True" /> 

        </behavior> 

      </endpointBehaviors> 

And add an extension under system.serviceModel like this: 

  <system.serviceModel> 

    <extensions> 

      <behaviorExtensions> 

        <add name="wsdlExtensions"  

             type="WCFExtras.Wsdl.WsdlExtensionsConfig, WCFExtras, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null"/> 

      </behaviorExtensions> 

    </extensions>
