I have a simple WCF service with one interface and one class. When I add a service reference to my console apps, my WCF service class is not getting the expected name. My WCF service class name is service1 but it is exposed to the client end as Service1Client.
Why is the word “Client” being added before my actual class name? Do I need to add anything in my web.config for the service or in the app.config for the console end?
The “client” is your service proxy generated class that acts as a wrapper exposing the elements of your service and managing the underlying channels/communication for you. This is what you use in your service-consuming client applications in order to utilise the service.
