If you go digging, you will find that the WCF stuff is a pretty deep hole. Lots of good stuff in there.

The article shows how to read / retrieve data but how for example write data back to the web service for storage to database? Thanks for the article; a great read!

Basically my goal here was to give the basics on how to do just about anything with a WCF...sending data to the service would follow basically the same rules. Email me if you are having trouble.

It is nice to see such a clear and concise introduction to WCF. I have a two part question: 1) My first question is about calling a WCF webservice from plain old JavaScript (not AJAX.NET) i.e. How can I add JavaScript to a page that would call my web service and send/ retrieve some data? 2) My second question is: can I call a WCF web service from another domain? (i.e. A third party site includes a reference to my JS file and that JS file calls the web service) thanks Matthew Hey David,

Hope it gets ya goin'. Here are some answers to your questions. 1. I found a handy dandy article that explains how do connect WCF to javascript. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb514961.aspx 2. Yes you can...speaking from an ASP.NET perspective all you need to do is create your service reference and point to the website that hosts it. Everything else should be the same. Hope that helps! Feel free to email me at david[at]creativeui[dot]com if you need anything else. David Hey Matthew, glad you liked the article. Hope it gets ya goin’.
