How do I add a .svc file in Visual Studio

I have a file with an .svc extension. First question is what is a .svc file? The second question is how do I create one of these from the Visual Studio add item menu? I've tried all the most obvious options but none of them create a .svc file.

Thanks,

Sachin

How do I import a .SVC file into Visual Studio?

In my experience, an SVC file is a WCF service - create a WCF application from the projects list and then do an "Add new item" and add a new WCF service. For it to do anything it will need the appropriate bindings and endpoints configuring and wiring up - before it can be called. Show activity on this post.
