i have a console application that consumes a web service and uses a json field in the response that has a link to download a document. Content of this doc is added to another document using altchunk. Now how can i expose this application as a service. Any help on this would be helpful.

What I have tried:

namespace CallingWebService
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var webRequest = WebRequest.Create("url");

using (var response = webRequest.GetResponse())
using (var content = response.GetResponseStream())
using (var reader = new StreamReader(content))
{
var strContent = reader.ReadToEnd();
var objects = JArray.Parse(strContent); // parse as array
foreach (JObject root in objects)
{

What you're basically asking is "How do I write a website?" and that is far too broad a topic to cover in a Quick Answer forum. Learn webforms or MVC and how to do this will become apparent.

Note however that your console app can do things a website\webservice can't as it is running on the local machine and the webservice isn't, so you won't be able to save files to the client file system, run files on the client file system etc so if that is your aim I'd give up right away.
