The WCF Extras looks interesting, but might be too much for what I need (which is simply a FlatWSDL). So, the first link points out how to do that, except here’s the thing. If you host your service within IIS, where would this code go?

    I know this is an old question (over a year old!) but as I’ve been playing with this today, I thought it would be worth trying to clear up this question…

    The answer is from here http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dotnetinterop/archive/2008/09/23/flatten-your-wsdl-with-this-custom-servicehost-for-wcf.aspx

    As described on that page you need to create 3 classes – FlatWsdl, FlatWsdlServiceHost and FlatWsdlServiceHostFactory. Then for hosting in IIS, add a reference to the Factory class into the .svc markup file…

    <%@ ServiceHost Language="C#"
  Factory="{YourNamespace}.FlatWsdlServiceHostFactory"
  Service="{YourNamespace}.WcfService1"%>

    Also, it looks like this will be solved in WCF 4.5 🙂
