Service Reference Error - netTcpBinding - wcf

Question

I was working on WCF service with an endpoint binding of netTcpBinding, hosted in a console application.
These are the configuration settings:
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="FullTimePartTime_EmpWCFServiceAppl.EmployeeService"
behaviorConfiguration="mexBehaviour" >
<endpoint
address="EmployeeService"
binding="netTcpBinding"
contract="FullTimePartTime_EmpWCFServiceAppl.IEmployeeService">
</endpoint>
<endpoint
address="mex"
binding="mexTcpBinding"
contract="IMetadataExchange">
</endpoint>
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="net.tcp://localhost:7090/"/>
</baseAddresses>
</host>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="mexBehaviour">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
</system.serviceModel>
The console application executes fine. WPF is client app which should consume the WCF service, but when I tried to add a service reference, this error occurred:
Service Reference Error
Can anyone help me to fix this issue & let me know the mistake I made?
Thanks in advance.

Always the metadata discovery is through http.So you need to have one more base address for the http which publishes the metdata via http.
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="http://localhost:7091/"/>
<add baseAddress="net.tcp://localhost:7090/"/>
</baseAddresses>
</host>
First try to browse the metadata through http://localhost:7091/?wsdl. Now try to generate proxy class using the service reference address http://localhost:7091/.
