input: [Category] Essentials [Description] With IIS7 on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, you can use the Windows Activation Service (WAS) to host your WCF services. While very similar to IIS6 and IIS5 hosting (virtual directories, svc files, etc), with the WAS you are not limited to HTTP and can use TCP, named pipes (IPC) and MSMQ. There is a one-time setup step (done in the included cmd file) to allow these interactions, where you assign a port number for your web site and allow the protocols for your application (the WCF service). The rest is regular WCF as shown in the demo. [Last Updated] 10/21/2007 [Title]
