WCF service operations not updated - wcf

Question

I´m creating a new WCF service. I initially had only three operations. But after some time I decided to add two more. This operations doesn't appear in the Microsoft test client, neither in the list of operations when I try to add a service reference from my WPF client. Also I tried to comment one of the initial operations. It still apears in the Microsoft test client and can be invoked. I Tried also delete the dlls generated by the service and regenerate again. No luck. There are some kind of "cache" where Visual Studio stores the WCF services libraries that I can delete?
UPDATE: I'm working with the service running in the ASP.NET devolopment server.

Answer 1

You need to understand the order in which things happen.
You change your code, adding methods with [OperationContract] on them, or removing them, or changing their parameters or return values.
You then must build your service, producing a .DLL that contains the changes.
You must then deploy the changed DLL to the server it's going to run on
You must then restart the service (this may happen automatically depending on the server. For instance, IIS will recycle the service when it sees that the DLL changed)
You must then update your client, either the WCF Test Client, or "Add Service Reference", or the equivalent.
This last will have the effect of sending a request to the service for the new metadata or WSDL. Only then can the client see the changes you made to the definition of the service.

Answer 2

I don't know why, but I created a new project and copied the definitions of the operations from the problematic project and the problem is gone. One case more for Microsoft mysteries.

Answer 3

Make sure you are updating the services after adding the new operations.
Also make sure they have the attribute [OperationContract].

Answer 4

One thing we have discovered is that when you deploy the dlls that they must be in the bin, and cannot reside in the debug or release folder.

Answer 5

For me worked: just rebuild the wcf project

Answer 6

Did you close the client connection in client side
as showing your service
class Test
{
static void Main()
{
LocationClient client = new LocationClient();
// Use the 'client' variable to call operations on the service.
// Always close the client.
client.Close();
}
}

Answer 7

SOLUTION HERE :
Make sure your dataContract does NOT contain any enum
(You can use integer instead)
Be sure to reference a project in the solution and not a dll on your disk
Remove your "bin" and "obj" folders
Recompile
In IIS recycle the application pool
In IIS restart your service
In IIS "Browse" your service
=> You got it
