Can a .net project discover and use a WCF service?

I have created a basic WCF service in IIS. I am aware that this should be developed in .net 3.0 and .net 3.5. My question is this. Can a client running .net 2.0 access and consume the WCF service?

Cheers

I don't see why you can't. Try msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb332338.aspx – Saif Khan

Yes, if the service exposes an endoint with basicHttpBinding. Although there are some issues you should be aware of.

as darin said you can access the service from 2.0 only if your wcf is exposed using the basicHttpBinding. This binding will expose SOAP that is compatible with WS-BasicProfile 1.1 which is the same as the older ASMX services.
