Summary

In this chapter, we added the third layer, the data access layer, to LayerNorthwindService. We have also added exception handling to the service. Now, we have finished implementing the three-layer WCF service, according to the WCF service development best practices.

In the next chapters, we will learn LINQ and Entity Framework and then apply LINQ to Entities to our WCF service.
