VWD WCF REST Service Template

Visual Studio .NET 2010 already has a extension template named "WCF REST Service Template 40 (CS)" which outputs a project template named "WCF REST Service Application". This project template helps you to jump start your WCF REST Service based development.

But that extension does not support the express editions of Visual Studio i.e. Visual Web Developer 2010 Express edition. I wanted to jump start my WCF REST Service based development with ease and i missed the above mention extension on express edition.

So i decide to build an extension for the express edition and result is this extension that i have uploaded.

Pre-requisite for this extension is .NET framework 4.0 and Visual Web Developer 2010 Express edition. The project template will create a Web based WCF REST Service application which utilizes Visual Studio Development Web Server. You can switch it to use IIS Express if you have IIS Express installed.

Please give it a spin and let me know comments if any. Would really appreciate if you can try this and provide feedback.
