What files in service links must be deployed to use the WCF service?

Question

I am concerned that the files should be included in the deployment of the .NET project. I have console applications that use the WCF service. WCF service works through HTTP. Do I need to deploy all the XSD, SVCINFO, WSDL and SVCMAP files located in the Service Links folder?

Thanks for any help. I’m sure that Microsoft got one page that finally explained what types of files are needed for deployment.

Answer 1

The only bits you need during installation are the compiled code and the .config file. The remaining parts (code, WSDL, etc.) Or everything for compilation / design time.
