This hands-on lab provides eight exercies to briefly introduce most of the experiences of building a Web service using the Service Factory. This includes modeling the services, data contracts, and host options, creating the project structure, and generating the code for both WCF and ASMX implementations. It also shows how to translates from business entities to messages as well as expose and consume the service.

There are two versions of the Building Hands-on Lab. A ZIP file and a self extracting EXE. Vista users should use the self extracting archive to workaround an issue with Vista's extraction feature.
