What files in Service References must be deployed to consume a WCF service?

Question

I'm concerned about files should be included in a deployment of a .NET project. I have console applications that are consuming a WCF service. The WCF service is running over HTTP. Do I need to deploy all the XSD, SVCINFO, WSDL & SVCMAP files that are in the Service References folder?

Thanks for any help. I sure wish there was a single page at Microsoft that definitively explained what file types were required in a deployment.

There is such a page. It is blank, as you don't deploy anything in the Service Reference folder. — John Saunders, Feb 04 '11 at 19:48

The only bits you need at installation time are the compiled code and the .config file. The rest of the pieces (the code, WSDL, etc) or all for compile / design time.
