What is the difference between WCF Service application and WCF Service library?

I am really new to WCF and one of the things that are confusing me right now is the type of projects that we can create with Visual Studio when it comes to Web services.

I would like to know the difference between a WCF Service Application and WCF Service Library, and when to use each.

Throw into the mix the WCF Data Services and i feel even more confused. Ideally what i want to do is to use the best of the 3 to create a layer that will get data from a SQL Database to use with ASP.NET front end that can be consumed easy with JQuery. Which one should I start to learn first?

thanks.

  • Alright. i found the answer. thanks

WCF server application is hosted by development server, whereas WCF service library is host by WCF test client.
