SVC file extension - Microsoft Visual Studio ASP.NET WCF Web service data

What is svc file? How to open svc files?

File extension svc is associated with WCF Web Service. These are text files that contain information about a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) service that can be run using Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS).

The svc files include a WCF-specific processing directive that activates hosted services in response to incoming messages.

Web services are components on a Web server that a client application can call by making HTTP requests across the Web. ASP.NET enables you to create custom Web services or to use built-in application services, and to call these services from any client application.

The syntax of an svc file can be something like this:
<% @ServiceHost Service="Namespace.ServiceTypeName" %>

The address of the svc file is usually something like this:
http://localhost/Application/MyService.svc
