    <p>I'm trying to learn how to build RESTful services with WCF by recreating the project on <a href="http://blogs.conchango.com/anthonysteele/archive/2008/03/15/rest-from-wcf-3-5.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this blog post</a> by Anthony Steele. He uses the following XML in his config to setup the endpoint for the service.</p> <pre><code> &lt;host&gt; &lt;baseAddresses&gt; &lt;add baseAddress="http://localhost:8080/greeter"/&gt; &lt;/baseAddresses&gt; &lt;/host&gt; </code></pre> <p>However, when I try to do the same thing in my ASP.NET 3.5 web site's web.config, I am unable to navigate to my service. Here is the XML I'm using:</p> <pre><code>&lt;system.serviceModel&gt; &lt;behaviors&gt; &lt;serviceBehaviors&gt; &lt;behavior name="GreeterBehavior"&gt; &lt;serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/&gt; &lt;serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/&gt; &lt;/behavior&gt; &lt;/serviceBehaviors&gt; &lt;/behaviors&gt; &lt;services&gt; &lt;service behaviorConfiguration="GreeterBehavior" name="Greeter"&gt; &lt;host&gt; &lt;baseAddresses&gt; &lt;add baseAddress="http://localhost:49268/TestREST/webapi/services/greeter"/&gt; &lt;/baseAddresses&gt; &lt;/host&gt; &lt;endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="IGreeter"&gt; &lt;identity&gt; &lt;dns value="localhost"/&gt; &lt;/identity&gt; &lt;/endpoint&gt; &lt;endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/&gt; &lt;/service&gt; &lt;/services&gt; &lt;/system.serviceModel&gt; </code></pre> <p>I would imagine my configuration would allow me to navigate to <a href="http://localhost:49268/TestREST/webapi/services/greeter" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost:49268/TestREST/webapi/services/greeter</a> and see my service. All I get is a resource not found message - am I missing something?</p> <p>Edit: Part of my problem was my binding was wsHttpBinding. Using webHttpBinding allowed me to use the service correctly - except, the baseAddress config section still has no effect.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
