Windows Azure for Developers Task 9: Hosting WCF Service Role in Windows Azure Hosted Service

In Previous Article We saw How to work with WCF Service Web Role

I am going to extend previous article to publish in hosted service.

Hosting WCF Service Role in hosted service is exactly the same as we host  ASP.Net Web Role.

2. Create a new hosted service. If you want you can upgrade any existing hosted service to host WCF Service role also.

Do not be panic and append Service1.svc with URL and you will get WCF Service Web Role up and running
