This may be a silly question, but I can\'t find the web service application template when I try to create a new project.
I've just struggled with this one myself.
It's still there buried in specific options.
The project template is called ASP.Net Web Service Application
Counter intuitively it doesn't show up if you select the broader menu: New Project -> Visual C#
Do a full install on ultimate; it is still there.
You propably want a WCF Service Project: New Project -> Visual C# (or Visual Basic) -> WCF Service Application.
