Can a .net project discover and use a WCF service?

I have created a basic WCF service in IIS. I am aware that this should be developed in .net 3.0 and .net 3.5. My question is this. Can a client running .net 2.0 access and consume the WCF service?

Cheers

  • Yes, if the service exposes an endoint with basicHttpBinding. Although there are some issues you should be aware of.

    anonym0use : Thanks for that, helped a great deal!
  • as darin said you can access the service from 2.0 only if your wcf is exposed using the basicHttpBinding. This binding will expose SOAP that is compatible with WS-BasicProfile 1.1 which is the same as the older ASMX services.
