Exposing a WCF Service for Ajax and Silverlight
One of the most attractive features of WCF is that you get to write a service once and expose it to be used by multiple clients using different technologies and protocols. How a WCF service is exposed can be changed simply by changing the configuration file, without needing to recompile the code. In this article, we're going to create a WCF service and expose it to Ajax. We'll test the Ajax service by calling it from ASP.NET Ajax 4.0 and jQuery. We'll then expose the service to Silverlight through binary encoding, which will increase data transfer efficiency. Finally, we'll create a small Silverlight 3.0 application that will call the service.
