Is it correct to call a WCF Service a web service?
I am working on a assigment for school, and I made a RESTful WCF service and in the report I refered to it at times as a web service. Is it correct to refer to a WCF Service as a web service?
WCF is a superset of Microsoft ‘communication’ services that includes web services.
See here.
EDIT – To answer explicitly, yes in the context you are discussing the two terms are interchangeable. Just remember that WCF can also include other communcation technologies as well as ‘web services’.
