Question

I just started learning on WCF and is trying to create a WCF service for my client application.

From the msdn tutorial, I have went through all the individuals steps and sort of grasp how WCF works and now I am trying to start coding the service on my part. For the first step it says, defining a service contract. and the sample code msdn gives are as follows

namespace Microsoft.ServiceModel.Samples 
{
    class Program
{
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
        }
    }
}

and the service contract.

[ServiceContract(Namespace = "http://Microsoft.ServiceModel.Samples")]

what i would like to ask is, what can i actually substitute the namespace with since I am developing for my own application?

Answer 1

The namespace can be a string – typically it’s a URI, like in your question, but it could also be a simple dotted namespace

[ServiceContract(Namespace = "Microsoft.ServiceModel.Samples")]
