Answer 1

Does this help?
// Create a proxy with the previously create binding and
// endpoint address
channelFactory =
new ChannelFactory<IEchoService>(
multipleTokensBinding, serviceAddress);
// configure the username credentials, the client
// certificate and the server certificate on the channel
// factory
channelFactory.Credentials.UserName.UserName = username;
channelFactory.Credentials.UserName.Password = password;
channelFactory.Credentials.ClientCertificate.SetCertificate(
"CN=client.com", StoreLocation.CurrentUser, StoreName.My);
channelFactory.Credentials.ServiceCertificate.SetDefaultCertificate(
"CN=localhost", StoreLocation.LocalMachine, StoreName.My);
client = channelFactory.CreateChannel();
Console.WriteLine("Echo service returned: {0}",
client.Echo());
((IChannel)client).Close();
channelFactory.Close();
}
catch (CommunicationException e)
{
Abort((IChannel)client, channelFactory);
// if there is a fault then print it out
FaultException fe = null;
Exception tmp = e;
while (tmp != null)
{
fe = tmp as FaultException;
if (fe != null)
{
break;
}
tmp = tmp.InnerException;
}
if (fe != null)
{
Console.WriteLine("The server sent back a fault: {0}",
fe.CreateMessageFault().Reason.GetMatchingTranslation().Text);
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("The request failed with exception: {0}",e);
}
}
catch (TimeoutException)
{
Abort((IChannel)client, channelFactory);
Console.WriteLine("The request timed out");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Abort((IChannel)client, channelFactory);
Console.WriteLine(
"The request failed with unexpected exception: {0}", e);
}
Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine("Press <ENTER> to terminate client.");
Console.ReadLine();
}
