Where has the browser WCF test form gone?

Really liked the convenience of just firing up the web browser and typing in some values to test an ASMX web service, is this no longer possible with 开发者_如何学CWCF?

You cannot have that, unfortunately.

But you do get the WCF Test Client instead!

It's available from your C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ directory, and it's a GUI tool to attach to WCF services and test them interactively. Quite handy.

As a benefit, the WCF Test Client can also deal with "complex" types, e.g. objects, that you want to pass into service calls - that was never possible on the ASMX test pages.

Otherwise, you'd have to use something like WCF Storm (.NET tool) or SoapUI (Java-based) for your SOAP services.

Pretty sure you can point the WCFTestClient at anything.

The WCF Test Client is really useful. You can point it to your production or test servers, as well as localhost. It allows you to invoke your methods like the old ASMX web services did. You can view the resulting value nicely formatted, and can view the XML.
