LightSwitch application chokes while instantiating a WCF proxy - vb.net

Question

I'm trying to create a LightSwitch management panel for a web-based app. Thats why I was setting up a WCF RIA service to interface with the WCF service of the web app. While testing the loading of the users, I discovered that LightSwitch said that it couldn't load the resource. The Immediate Window told me that a System.InvalidOperationException had occured within System.ServiceModel.dll but VS didnt actually point me towards the loc where the error would have originated. After some line for line code execution, I discovered it choked at the instantiation of the WCF proxy.
An example of the code on the WCF RIA service Class:
Public Class RIAInterface
Inherits DomainService
Private WCFProxy As New Service.UserClient() '<-- Choke Point
Public Sub New()
WCFProxy.Open()
End Sub
<Query(IsDefault:=True)>
Public Function GetUsers() As IQueryable(Of User)
Dim TempList As New List(Of User)
For Each User As Service.User In WCFProxy.GetUsers()
TempList.Add(New User With {.ID = User.ID, .FullName = User.FullName, .EmailAddress = User.Email, .Username = User.UserName, .Class = User.Class.Name, .AccountType = User.Privilege.Name})
Next
Return TempList.AsQueryable
End Function
End Class
After some fooling arround with the RIA service and LightSwitch, something changed. I ran the app and got an actual exception.
Exception Details:
Could not find endpoint element with name 'EduNetBackEnd_IUser' and contract 'EduNet.IUser' in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this name could be found in the client element.
This is the the ServiceModel configuration in the App.config:
