ASP.NET MVC4 to WCF DataServices

Question

I have a ASP .NET MVC4 application using Entity framework CodeFirst and I want to expose its data with WCF data services. I don't know where and how to begin.

Could you give me ways to follow ?

My final goal is to deploy this service on Windows Azure PaaS.

Answer 1

Create a new Web Application project within your solution and add a new WCF DataServices item.

This WCF DataSercices should reference the same business layer as the one you might use within your controllers/model builders in your ASP .Net MVC4 application.

Then have a look here to learn about how to deploy on Azure.
