Can a application be a WPF desktop application and also a WCF service?

Question

I have a WPF desktop application. This application is required to expose certain functions for the external remote clients. Currently we have a socket protocol which we expose for the external clients. Can we instead (or also) use WCF to expose these functions as a service ?

Yes, you can do that. However, you should have just tried it before asking here. — Clemens, Jun 23 '14 at 09:53

Yes, you'll simply need to create and start a ServiceHost for your WCF service.
