The SVC (WCF Web Service File) file extension is a Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) file format. A WCF file contains a script or code for accessing.NET or WCF services, including serviced components such as .NET, .WSDL, .WSX, .DISCO, .ASMX, and .WS. It is an acronym for the Windows Communication Foundation service, which is a secure and flexible web-service architecture.
Technical Details
SVC files are saved in an XML-based syntax, with the data packaged in a SOAP envelope, which contains commands or instructions that refer to a specific web service. This makes it easy for developers to communicate and access the appropriate services using languages like C#, VB.NET, XML, and Visual Basic.
The file structure of an SVC file consists of elements containing parameters, parameters values, and actions that are described in the associated WSDL (Web Services Description Language) document. It also includes a special client proxy file that points to the web service where the commands are executed. Other similar file extensions include: .ASMX, .DISCO, .WSDL, .WSX, and .WS.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SVC) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .SVC extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .SVC file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .SVC extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .SVC extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SVC file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SVC file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .SVC file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SVC file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SVC file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
