WCF service with asp.net mvc application

Question

I started using asp.net MVC and as a traditional way to maintain data access level in WCF service. How can I achieve this using asp.net MVC?

Scenario

I started a test application in asp.net MVC that displays, inserts and edits data. I successfully created this by adding the "ADO.Net Entity Data Model".

So, if I wanted to move this data level in the WCF service, that is, the WCF service with methods such as GetData (), UpdateData (), CreateNewData (), how can I achieve this?

Answer 1

Short answer:

You just need to move your data layer to the WCF service, expose it, and then call MVC from your application.

Long answer:

1) I recommend going through Scott Guthrie Nerd Dinner to get a really good understanding of the basics of MVC.

2) The following blog goes through the process of writing a multi-level ASP.NET MVC Applicaiton using the WCF service (parts III and IV are specifically focused on the interaction of WCF and MVC):

• Part I (General Concepts)
• Part II (Creating a Repository)
• Part III (Creating a Service)
• Part IV (Use of the Service)

I have not read the related details in detail (just removed them), but they seem to provide a decent overview of the process.
