Welcome back to the WCF screencast series! After a spending four weeks covering WF topics, we return to WCF for the latest video in the weekly WF/WCF Screencast series. In the coming month, we’ll be covering topics around the calling of WCF services.
This week I'll guide you through how to create your first WCF client application that consumes an existing WCF service (see the previous WCF screencasts below for more details). You'll see how to add a service reference to the client project using the WCF service's Metadata Exchange (MEX) endpoint, which generates the service definition and contract, and then we'll use those generated artifacts to actually invoke the service operations.
