Have a WCF service in a “Services” directory in my asp.net web app. In

/Services/MyService.svc
/Services/MyService.svc.cs

Everything works when copying my source code to the virtual directory. We were really hoping to precompile the code for various reasons, but when we do the service breaks. I am assuming becuase now the “.cs” file is precompiled and there no longer is a “MyService.svc.cs” in the “/Services” directory.

The Error

Error: Cannot obtain Metadata from http://myurl.com/services/MyService.svc

My .svc mark up is the standard:

<%@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="MyNamespace.MyService" CodeBehind="MyNamespace.MyService.svc.cs" %>

Is there something I am doin wrong, or that I can change on the WCF client/service to allow for ASP.net precomilation?

    Assuming you’re talking about a precompiled site, take a look at this blog post. Basically the site has to be updatable.
