I am running on SP1 beta of 2010... it may or may not related to the beta. But, in general, can adding a project to the codeplex TFS server somehow make WCF break when also inside an Azure project?
Seems to be the pattern for me. Immediately upon launch I get a ServicePoint exception. If I remove the app from source control everything works fine.
My project consists of
Azure WCF hello world application
VS2010 SP1 beta
Adding codeplex TFS reference causes exception
Is it a CommunicationFaultedException? If it is, it is a bug when working with Azure 1.3 SDK projects that are checked into TFS. Make sure you have the Web.config file checked out (writeable).
If not, can you give any other information on on the ServicePoint execption?

I am unable to add a connected service reference to a WCF endpoint in VS 2019. I used to be able to do it in VS2017 with an extension. Now I can't find the extension anywhere, and when I try to add a connected service, I get lots of options but nothing for a WCF service.
Just to clarify, I am not trying to develop a WCF service, just trying to create a service reference to act as a client to a remote WCF service.
There is an article on how to use such a tool, here, but absolutely no information on where to find the tool or how to install it. I even found what may be the source code for the tool, but again with no installation instructions.
My project is a .NET Core project, targeting NetStandard 1.6.
.Net Core is still supporting client-side. You can use hosted service in it and add the ip:port/wcfinterface from the connected services.
You can try it by following this link.
I was able to resolve this issue by simply creating a new class library targeting NetStandard2.0. Right-clicking on Dependencies -> Managed Connected Services now showed an additional item below the Service Dependencies item, called Service References. Adding a new Service Reference, you are then presented with a WCF option.
I tried re-targeting this class lib back to NetStandard1.6, and all is still working. My original class lib was very old, and had some old stuff like dnxcore50 in the .csproj file, so maybe something there was screwing it up.
Thanks all for the suggestions.
I have a vs solution with 2 projects - WinForms client, and WCF Service.
Since visual studio 2013 to 2019 (I was under Windows 7), every time when I ran in debug the WinForm client, VS automatically was starting the IISExpress in background(I want that!), and my calls from the client were successful, stopping on breakpoints inside the WCF service easy.
Last week, I got new box with Windows 10. Now when I start the client, there is no iisexpress.
The source code is the same and not changed - my co-workers are under Windows 7 and this works for them - same code - we use git as version control.
The only time I see iisexpress is if I do "Update Service Reference" or I make the WCF startup project and run it.
Can you help me identify why this functionality stopped working? Ideas for a fix?
Windows 10, Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise, .NET 4.6
EDIT: I do not have problem running the webservice in IISExpress, when i specifically run it - it works, also on solution level if I set 2 startup projects, all will work. The main issue is that with Single Startup project - thw WinForms client, Visual Studio will not bring up the IISExpress instance. It is only development time issue, and this works for my co-workers.
The solution is in the VS generated (regenerated if missing) user file in the WCF project
.csproj.user
there is property
<AlwaysStartWebServerOnDebug>True</AlwaysStartWebServerOnDebug>
It must be True, but now it is defaulted to False.
The *.user files do not go to version control, and if they are missing VS regenerates them, hence my coworkers had it, and my freshly cloned repo did not.
I'm pretty sure I never touched this file or did any configs like that on the WCF project, my suspicion is that MS decided to start defaulting to False in some version or patch.
WARNING! After changing the option, close/open the entire solution or restart VS.
Disclaimer: I found this solution in the build in VS report problem button leading to a portal with reported problems and solutions. I do not see how to copy link or anything from that Feedback tool, but this is the guy that deserves the credit: 佐々木隆幸
It seems that you want to debug the WinForms application separately regardless of the WCF application. we could set up the project dependencies in the property page of the VS solution.
Then open the SVC file, press F5 to launch the WCF application so that we can add service reference in WinForms application.
Please ensure the below configuration in the property page of the WCF application project.
Besides, if there is something wrong with the IISExpress, we could opt to repair the IISExpress in the below dialog.
On my side, it works like a charm.
Feel free to let me know if the problem still exists.
So, we have a web app we've migrated to .net core, and while it runs fine in Visual Studio 2017, because Visual Studio uses its "launchSettings.json" file to configure how IIS Express will work/launch - I, for the life of me, cannot figure out how to get VS Code to run the project. The problem is, we use HTTPS only and have always just let IIS Express used the self-signed locahost cert to allow this, so when debugging the site locally, we'd always use https://localhost:44300. As stated, this worked fine when entering this url in the launchSerttings.json file for Visual Studio, but VS Code does not use this, and the only answers I can find on this always refer to having to use the Kestrel Server's .Listen() method and used a self-signed cert and password to allow the use of an HTTPS port. 1) this seems just silly that I'd have to add this "test" code to run it locally, because I don't need it when we deploy to Azure, as Azure manages the certs and url for us. 2) Visual Studio 2017 does not need any specification on Kestrel to make this all work. So, I have hard time believing there isn't some extension, or process to achieve the same thing in Visual Studio Code that Visual Studio is doing under the hood to allow IIS Express to communicate with the .Net Core Kestrel Server.
Combing through the all the documentation suggests that the ASPNetCoreModule is what handles this communication for IIS and Kestrel, so, I would hope/guess there has to be some way to configure the web.config file's tag to include something that would make this work.
I've previously used and tried other IIS execution extensions in VS Code, but those focus on elements in the project's web.config to boot IIS which are no longer present in the web.config due to it being a .Net Core app. I had been successfully running the web app with the IIS Express Executor extension before migrating to .Net Core when the web app was a .NET Framework 4.5.2 app
So, the end goal is that I need to be able to go to https://localhost:44300 in the browser, and have our site work, but I don't want to have to add any sort of test-cert into the Kestrel config in the Program.cs or Startup.cs files. If there's no way to do this, then that will be really disappointing considering Visual Studio makes this seem like it should be very simple.
Thanks for the help.
Was able to get this to work using the following steps.
1) Install IIS Express executer in VS Code or any other similiar extension that wraps around dotnet commands
2) Download Process Explorer from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer
3) Launch Visual Studio IIS Express as you would normally
4) Open Process Explorer (may need to launch as Admin) and locate iisexpress.exe -> VSIISExeLauncher.exe
5) Right click VSIISExeLauncher.exe and click properties then locate the "Environment" tab. Inside the environment tab you will see 2 variables: LAUNCHER_PATH and LAUNCHER_ARGS. Copy both of these variables and values.
6) Next locate the configuration file for the extension you installed in VS code (mine is launch.json inside the .vscode folder in your project root directory). It will likely have an "environment" or "env" section for adding environment variables to the launch arguments. Add the two arguments copied from step 5. These vary from person to person so the value of the arguments will be unique to your machine.
7) Launch IIS-Express from vs code. My particular command for this is "IIS-EE: Start IIS Express Server" but will vary based on the extension you installed. You can hit F1 to launch commands.
Visual Studio itself uses too many tricks under the hood to make you believe it is simple. However, it is not.
I documented all necessary details in a blog post,
https://blog.lextudio.com/how-visual-studio-launches-iis-express-to-debug-asp-net-core-apps-d7fd3677e3c3
And if you follow the steps manually, you should be able to launch IIS Express the same way VS does, and then use that in Visual Studio Code. I know there is some VSCode extensions trying to integrate with IIS and IIS Express, but I do hope those authors spend more time learning such integration and improve their extensions to fully support the scenarios.
I'm new to both ASP.net and AppHarbor. I also have never deployed an ASP.net application before.
I've set up an MVC4 website using the Visual Studio 2012 release candidate and it is near completion. Locally, it is working fine / as expected.
To send the client a current progress demo, I've been advised that I should use AppHarbor to host the application / website.
I've gone through the process of setting up a Git repository and connecting that with AppHarbor. I then used the Build -> Publish Selection option in Visual Studio to create a 'Web Deploy Package' within my local copy of the repository. Finally, I pushed the files (shown below) that were created to the repository and AppHarbor listed the commit as 'Active'.
However, when I click Go to your application, all I get is this magnificent 403 page.
I've tried a bunch of things (none of which have worked so far) that I've seen in forums (including here and AppHarbor support), including:
Adding a <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
Ensuring I didn't have multiple web projects.
Checking and confirming that there are no errors listed in AppHarbor.
I've turned CustomErrors off, yielding no differences.
I haven't touched any of the .config stuff since I began the project (because I don't know how to use them yet). Perhaps I've just not added something blatantly obvious in there?
You shouldn't use the Web Publish stuff when you want to deploy to AppHarbor. AppHarbor takes your source code straight up, builds it, tests it and deploys it.
Here's a guide on deploying your first app on AppHarbor using Git. There's also a video on the AppHarbor front page that you can check out.
I'm stumped. There are several threads out there that reference a similar problem, but not the same one. I'm trying to get a simple WCF service up and running in Azure, but my problem is happening before I even deploy. I'm following this article:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-how-to-create-deploy/
Which says to create your project, build the "Hello World" service interface and class, and then start your project locally. I get a 403 error when I try to start my project.
The only step I'm not following exactly is that I don't have a "Start Without Debugging" option (I'm using Visual Studio Express Web Developer), so I just push "Start Debugging."
Why would I get a 403 error on my own machine? I am running Visual Studio as Administrator.
On the WebRole project right click on your .svc (Service1.svc) and choose "Set As Start Page" And then run the project. Make sure to do this on the WebRole project not the Azure Cloude Project.
Is the Azure project the default project or is the WCF Web Role? If it's the role itself, that may be your issue - it's trying to access the root of virtual directory containing the web service versus running the cloud app in the local emulator. If you browse to http://127.0.0.1:81/Service1.svc in a new browser window do you still get the 403?
It seems VS has lost the its project settings. Bring up "Properties" page on the web service in VS. Go to the "Debug" tab. Under Servers/Virtual Path: my configuration was set to just "/". Put the name of your server back in there "/Service1.svc" and it should work from the debugger now. This fixed the problem for me.
The problem went away when I upgraded to VS 2010 Pro. I never fixed it on Express, but after upgrading the problem was gone ... I had the "Start without Debugging" option in the Pro edition, so I suspect that the problem may have been specific to Express.
