While I was hunting for answers to calling a WCF Service application from an XBAP (both to be hosted on same domain) I came across Mr. Masudur's excellent CodeProject article here: http://tinyurl.com/266qpte
In his example, and others I've seen, the writers talk about doing the following:
- opening VS 2008 (they don't say which tool... C#, VWD, etc)
- starting a new XBAP project
- then starting a new WCF Service app in the same solution
- they then proceed to work with both in the same session
My problem: If I open Visual C# Express, I can create an XBAP app, but I cannot add a WCF Service to the same solution... it's just not listed as available.
If I open Visual Web Developer 2008 Express, under C# - Web, I can create a new WCF Service app, but I cannot add an XBAP to the same solution. Again, it's just not listed.
How can people be creating new projects of both sorts in the same session, and what are they actually running? So far as I can tell, there is no "Visual Studio 2008 Express"... you can only download the individual components (C#, VB, Web Devl, etc).
Are all these tools integrated together in VS 2008 Pro? Maybe that's why they can do it, and I can't?
