I want to display some data in CRM from external database. I know I have to use WCF service and webresource option to do it. I am new to WCF service so I read about it online and they showed how to create a WCF service and how to use it in same solution by adding the reference to a project. But can someone please tell me how will it work for CRM? Do I need to host the service on IIS? Where should I put the service so I can call it from CRM? its probably a silly question but Please Help!

Thanks.

Hi,

if you are creating WCF service to access external database then you need to host that service on IIS.

You can use CRM server but use different web site (in case of on-premise CRM).

Hi,

You should host the service in IIS then you can call it with IP or DNS
