How to expose WCF method?

Question

I'd like to access a WCF method via url. For example:

localhost:8080/TestService.svc/MyMethod

When I do the above, I get a webpage cannot be found. In the Interface file, I have added the following above MyMethod.

[WebGet]  
[OperationContract]  
void MyMethod();

but that didn't change anything. Any ideas?

How are you attempting to consume this service? Have you generated a service proxy? — Odrade, Sep 13 '12 at 23:25

How does your web.config look like? Are you using REST?

Have you looked at below post? Making a WCF Web Service work with GET requests

I don't think you can. You need to use REST to do what you want. Or use a Controller/Action (if this is MVC) that will create a proxy object to consume the service e.g.

ServiceClient client = new ServiceClient();
client.MyMethod()

I think the quickest solution is to use a factory. It seems likely they would want a restful service so if you follow this guide you wont even need to specify anything in the web.config. See the first answer on this question.
