Accessing to a wcf service - wcf

Question

i have a problem.
I tried to access to the wcf web service from an application ASP.net MVC, I got this exception when I am calling the method.
There was no endpoint listening at the URI that could accept the
message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action.
See InnerException, if present, for more details.
this is my code
var client = new DSServiceClient();
client.Methode();
service model section of web.config
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IDSService" />
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="localhost:1695/Service1.svc"; binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IDSService" contract="ServiceReference1.IDSService" name="BasicHttpBinding_IDSService" />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>

Answer 1

Check that the URL you are using is accessible from asp.net mvc site. If you are using http binding you can copy and paste url into browser on the server where your site is deployed. The URL should be in web.config file in the root folder of your site.

Answer 2

Are you using IIS 7 to host? If So you can go to your site, enable directory browsing (temporarily), click on the browse link on the right side of IIS manager, select the service class ("something.svc") and it should pop up in a browser. At that point you can copy the URL from the browser and replace localhost with the server name. You can even go on to click on the top link on that page to get to the WSDL. If there is a problem you may get an error message that may be more helpful.

Answer 3

this is my web.config of the service
<system.serviceModel>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"/>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpEndpointBinding">
<security mode="None">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" proxyCredentialType="None"
realm="" />
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="DSWebService.Service1Behavior"
name="DSWebService.Service1">
<endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding"
contract="DSWebService.IDSService">
<identity>
<dns value="localhost" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="http://localhost:1695/DSWebService" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="DSWebService.Service1Behavior">
<!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false before deployment -->
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true. Set to false before deployment to avoid disclosing exception information -->
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
and this is my web.config of the client:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="WSHttpBinding_IDSService" />
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="http://localhost:1695/Service1.svc" binding="wsHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="WSHttpBinding_IDSService" contract="IDSService"
name="WSHttpBinding_IDSService">
<identity>
<dns value="localhost" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
</client>
and the 2 project should be on the same solution and after we do add reference :
DSServiceClient client = new DSServiceClient();
client.Methode();
