Hi

I am at Chapter 10 and am trying to create a Web service asmx file but VS2012 does not seem to have the Web service item? Is there an explanation available on how to complete the try it out using WCF?

Hi there.

There is one in my new book Beginning ASP.NET 4.5 that targets .NET 4.5 and Visual Studio 2012 ;-)

Using a WCF service is slightly different and it would be a bit too much to repeat the complete exercises from the new book here. In general though, you'll find that a lot is the same.

Alternatively, you could copy and paste the code from the downloads in the book into your project and use those. Web Services are still supported, but since they are considered deprecated, the template has been removed from Visual Studio.

Cheers,

Imar
