Hello,

Appologies if this question is confuses you or very drmatic in scenario. Please consider me as a new bie of .net

I have recently started reading the book written by Mike Liu Named "WCF 4 0 Multi tier Services Development with LINQ to Entities" Good book explained well about Linq, Linq To Entities and Layers construction in WCF LINQ WPF project. Like it. Ok.

Coming to the point i am having a doubt here. This is not implemetational issue. If we devloped a distributed Application in Windows forms and WCF using MSMQ, we uses an entity of database at dev enironment and it writes connection string in app.config of WCF service layer. This contains our dev IP address, password of database etc. if it is old style we can provide a dialog box take input of server, database password details and can write it back to the app.config file. After completing of development how we can give a change to end user to configure this WCF on his own servers????

Thanks in advance.

Im not an expert in WCF, but can you not configure the WCF service by adding methods that can be called by the admin. This could even be a separate program that only he can configure, as the information is stored in an XML file on the server no?

Otherwise I'll have to direct you to the Microsoft documentation:

Solution 2

The following procedures will help you to provide the service.
1. Prepare a good documentation for the configurable parts of the wcf service. These configuration parts could be the endpoint, identity etc.
2. Use SvcConfigEditor.exe[^] which is provided by Microsoft for such purpose.

Note:I am assuming that there is a Technical Person that can able to deploy the service on the host server.
