Configuration binding extension could not be found - wcf

Question

I am trying to get a WCF webservice running which will participate in distributed transactions. I keep getting the following error message...
Configuration binding extension 'system.serviceModel/bindings/myBinding' could not be found. Verify that this binding extension is properly registered in system.serviceModel/extensions/bindingExtensions and that it is spelled correctly
Here is the web.config
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name = "DistServiceX">
<endpoint
address=""
binding="myBinding"
contract="IDistService"
/>
</service>
</services>
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding
name="myBinding"
transactionFlow="true"
/>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
Can anyone see what is wrong with this? It's driving me crazy!
Thanks
Pete

Answer 1

You are referring to a custom binding here:
<service name = "DistServiceX">
<endpoint
address=""
binding="myBinding"
contract="IDistService" />
However, there is no custom binding called myBinding anywhere in your config.
I assume you really want to refer to a wsHttpBinding and the myBinding binding configuration that you specified in your config file. Furthermore: the name of the service must match the fully qualified name of the class that implements the service - including namespace (and also: the name of the contract being implemented by that service and exposed on a given endpoint must include any namespaces):
<service name="YourNamespace.DistServiceX">
<endpoint
address=""
binding="wsHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="myBinding"
contract="YourNamespace.IDistService" />
