[RESOLVED] WCF in Express editions

[Hamish]

I've started playing around with WCF, but I'm finding it hard work with only the Express editions to work with. Being absolutely new to WCF and having only instruction videos made in VS Pro to learn from doesn't help.
Especially the self-host scenario is very difficult to build in the Express editions, and that's the one I'm most interested in, as I think I will be building mostly P2P apps, not server apps.

So for starters: Does anyone know how to start the Service Configuration Editor manually? It doesn't show up when I right-click my config file....

OK, found it. SvcConfigEditor.exe
I am building my WCF Service dll in Visual Web Developer 2008 Express, since that has the WCF Service Application template. But it's still a hassle.

I'm not entirely sure if this applies to you but the service configuration editor doesn't show up by default when you right click a config file. You have to go to Tools > WCF Service Configuration Editor. After it opens up, close it. Then right click on the config file. Perhaps something similar in the express editions...

Doesn't work in VWD 2008, it's not on the Tools menu. I've added as an external tool though, so now I can just select the file and open it from there, so that's better.
