There are four simple steps to creating an Indigo Service:

1. Define the service contract.
2. Implement the contract.
3. Create an endpoint or endpoints.
4. Run the service. You can run the service either as a self-hosted service or as an IIS-hosted service.

So simple right? Well with the RC1 WinFx SDK Tool integration into Whidbey, even your mother can do it! Just select File | New Web Site | Indigo Service, select your language flavor (why is there J# and no C++/CLI???) and location and presto! You now have a full Indigo service with wsProfileBinding which means HTTP endpoint and WSI-I compliant. Not a single line of code or config!! No angle brackets!

using System;

using System.ServiceModel;

[ServiceContract()]

public interface IMyService

{

     [OperationContract]

     string MyOperation1(string myValue1);

}

public class MyService : IMyService

{

     public string MyOperation1(string myValue1)

     {

           return "Hello: " + myValue1;

     }

}
