I cannot invoke wcf methods using Browser(HTTP) - wcf

Question

I have a service with below code
TaskService.svc
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
public class TodoService : ITodoService
{
private readonly List<Todo> _dataSource;
public TodoService()
{
_dataSource = new List<Todo>();
}
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "/Todos")]
public List<Todo> Todos()
{
return _dataSource;
}
}
and the data transfer object is as below
[ServiceContract]
public interface ITodoService
{
[OperationContract]
List<Todo> Todos();
}
[DataContract]
public class Todo
{
[DataMember]
public string Name { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public bool Completed { get; set; }
}
the web.config as below
<services>
<service name="SampleService.TodosBehavior">
<endpoint address="" behaviorConfiguration="SampleService.TodosBehavior"
binding="webHttpBinding" contract="SampleService.TodoService" />
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="SampleService.TodosBehavior">
<enableWebScript />
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
the application is hosted in IIS 7 with virtual directory SampleService. When ever i invoke using browser http://localhost/SampleService/TaskService.svc/Todos i am greeted with nothing. But i expected a empty array. Why is this so?

Answer 1

I think the WebGet() needs to be in your interface (ServiceContract) rather than your implementation of that interface. Also, do you need the slash before "Todos" in your UriTemplate?
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
public class TodoService : ITodoService
{
private readonly List<Todo> _dataSource;
public TodoService()
{
_dataSource = new List<Todo>();
}
public List<Todo> Todos()
{
return _dataSource;
}
}
[ServiceContract]
public interface ITodoService
{
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "Todos")]
[OperationContract]
List<Todo> Todos();
}
If you're hosting in IIS, what does your TaskService.svc file look like?
EDIT: Oh, this IS your .svc file. Never mind then.
