I just installed VS 2005 with version 2.0 of the framework. I'm attempting to work through a WCF example. I don't see the ServiceModel in the AddReference list. Is this a 2.0 or 3.0 component
Anyone know a good link to download the proper SDK I tried from one that was provided earlier in this thread and after an hour of continuously getting a "retry" prompt for an error the install encountered I gave up in frustration.
So, if I understand correctly do you have to install both the SDK and orcas to get VS 2005 to recognize the System.SystemModel .dll in the AddReference screen I installed 3.0 framework and it still does not show in the list.
i know till RC1,orcas tools depends on SDK tools also(not all the features,some)
you can always browse partcilar dll and add the reference for that dll,so if you installed .NET 3.0 only,WCF dlls are located in C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation ,you can add dll reference from this folder.
SDK has very important tools to write and debug WCF apps also (SVCUTIL/SVCTRACEVIEWER),so we better to install SDK also.
I don't think you need to install the SDK for that (at least I usually only download the tools packages and that's enough), so it's probably the orcas tools you want.
FWIW, technically speaking the necessary assemblies should be available right after installing just the runtime, but you'd need to browse to find them when adding them as references.
Where is Sysem.ServiceModel?

you need to install .NET 3.0+SDK+orcas tools to write WCF apps

Developer:
VS.NET 2005+.NET 3.0+SDK+orcas tools
Production machines:
only .NET 3.0 runtime should be enough
