Scenario
I have two WCF Services combined in a single App.Config file.
I can't get the thing to run (the application compiles but fails at initialization of the services).
Question
I'm wondering whether I need to set the service name to be the same as something else that is also defined as part of the service overall?
ERROR
TypeInitializationException
{"Service 'MurexUploadObjects.ResponseService' has zero application (non-infrastructure) endpoints. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no service element matching the service name could be found in the configuration file, or because no endpoints were defined in the service element."}

The service name must be the fully qualified name of your service class, including the namespace, e.g.
<service name="YourServiceNamespace.YourService">
It can't be just anything - the name of the service class is used by ServiceHost to find the right service configuration.

I have a service that use the tcp binding and this services allows to the clients interact with the database. I use EF and self tracking entities.
One thing that I want to do is store files in the database, so to not overload the wire, i have two tables with their corresponding entities. One table Documents with the information of the documents (type, size... etc) and other table, Files, that store the binary information, the file.
Well, in local, when I run the client and the service in the same computer, I can store the files that I want. I try with a file of 6MB. But If I run the client in other computer in the same lan, then I have many problems.
For example, if I try to store a small file, 50kB, I don't have problems, but if I try to store the file of 6MB, then I can get different errors.
For example, if I configure in the client a low timeout, for example 1 minute, I get the error:
System.TimeoutException: This request operation sent to net.tcp://192.168.1.5:7997/CMMSHost did not receive a reply within the configured timeout (00:01:00).
If I configure the client to have a timeout of 10 minutes, then I get the following error:
The server did not provide a meaningful reply
The service is hosted in a wpf application, and in the Begin method of the serve that add the document in the database, I send a text with a log to know if the call is received or not. When I get some of the errors, the call in not received, so I think that the problem perhaps is that the self tacking entity for some reason does not arrive to the service.
My app.config for the service is the following:
<endpoint address=""
binding="netTcpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="tcpBinding"

contract="GTS.CMMS.Service.IService">

I use a large readquotes, to try to discard that the problem is the size of the file, but the problem persists.
Thanks.
I don't think this is an issue related to WCF. I assume its rather related to your IIS.
Can you try the following code snippet in your web.config?
<system.webServer>
<security>
<requestFiltering>
<requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="524288000"/>
</requestFiltering>
</security>
</system.webServer>
I have a WCF service, that use tcp for the communication. When I try to transfer a file from the client to the service, if I do that in the same computerm in which the configure file in the client and in the service use the localhost for the url, I have not any problem.
However, if I try to do the same when the client is in other computer in the lan, I get the following exception:
System.TimeoutException: This request operation sent to net.tcp://192.168.1.5:7997/CMMSHost did not receive a reply within the configured timeout (00:01:00). The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout. This may be because the service is still processing the operation or because the service was unable to send a reply message. Please consider increasing the operation timeout (by casting the channel/proxy to IContextChannel and setting the OperationTimeout property) and ensure that the service is able to connect to the client.
however, if I try to use other actions, such as search information or add registers and any other kind of operation, the application works fine.
So the problem is in the transfer of the file.
In the service I use this configuration:
<endpoint address=""
binding="netTcpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="tcpBinding"

contract="GTS.CMMS.Service.IService">

Is your application is working well for small size file in kbs? if yes then for lager size file use transferMode="Streamed" instead of transferMode="Buffered". You have to change configuration accordingly.
If your application is not working for even smaller files there is a problem with your application.
Build your application and regenerate proxy and try to debug your application.

We have a website load balanced across two servers that calls into a WCF wsHttp service hosted on a single IIS7 application server.
Last week, the website was launched and we hit performance problems.
The system was built by an off-shore team but I was asked to investigate if I could help.
I loaded perfmon and used the asp.net counters to view current sessions. I could see that once this increased above about 25 then the website slowed greatly. It would continue to increase to approx 250 over the course of the following 10 minutes, it would then drop to 0 and performance of the site would be great.
This continued in a cycle - bad news!
The following day, the off-shore team informed me that they'd fixed the problem by tuning off security.
I have a theory that in disabling the security on the wsHttp binding WCF changed from creating an instance per session to a creating an instance per call - therefore allowing a far greater throughput of service requests. Is this a good theory?
I've built a simple model to test this, a couple of methods hosted in IIS and a simple client that generates multiple requests. This does seem to give the results I'd expected. Problem is, I'm struggling to find the correct perfmon counters to prove that fewer requests are queued and more concurrent instances created, when the secure binding is not used.
Could anyone please advise on the best perfmon counters to use?
OK, another day on this and a more questions!
In my test app, I now have 3 service classes with 3 different wsHttp bindings
No security
Message Security
Message security but with [ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.PerCall)] set on the class
From within a loop of 40 on the client I start a new thread and call the service. When calling service 1, the service completes all requests within 1 second.
When calling service 2, the service completes all requests in 33 seconds.
When calling service 3, I'd expect it to be almost as quick as service 1 since I'd expect the service to instantiate a new service object for each of the 4 calls. However, it doesn't seem (I still don't have any meaningful perfmon counters!) to do this and total time to complete is also 33 seconds.
Here is the config from the service:

I guess that I'm missing a config setting? Or maybe mutiple calls using message security over wsHttp are always going to be very slow because the server object must be instantiated per session and only a single session is created for each client?
Many thanks

The counters you want have to be explicitly enabled in your service:
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<diagnostics performanceCounters="All" />
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
Obviously it can be more granular too. This is what you want to read: WCF Performance Counters
Update:
A better link: How to use performance counters to diagnose performance of WCF applications
I am trying to solve a WCF error found in my previous question. Basically, the error is:
The maximum string content length quota (8192) has been exceeded while reading XML data.
And someone suggested to use a services tag in my web.config to resolve my issue.
Now, I am facing a different problem. I can’t figure out how am I suppose to configure the services tag in my web.config to work correctly on my server. I always get the following error when I try to use the services tag:
The server did not provide a meaningful reply; this might be caused by a contract mismatch, a premature session shutdown or an internal server error.
Here is my web.config with the services tag added:

</service>
</services>
Please note that by removing the services tag everything works fine, but then I will not be able to resolve my original problem posted on my previous question.
so could someone please tell me if I am doing something wrong on my web.config, specifically in my services tag?!
Okay, let's tackle this:
First, you need to define a custom basicHttpBinding binding configuration with some custom settings:
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="LargeSettings"
maxBufferSize="524288"
maxBufferPoolSize="524288"
maxReceivedMessageSize="6553600">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="100000"
maxArrayLength="16384" maxBytesPerRead="4096"
maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
<security mode="None" />
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
This section needs to be in both your server-side's web.config, as well as your client side's config.
Secondly, on the server-side, you need to have a <services> tag that defines your service and its endpoints and their configuration:
<services>
<service name="YourNamespace.YourClassName"
behaviorConfiguration="ServiceWithMetadata">
<endpoint name="Default"
address="http://localhost:53931/WCF/Service1.svc"
binding="basicHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="LargeSettings"
contract="YourNamespace.IServiceContract" />
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="ServiceWithMetadata">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
Points to check:
your service name must be the fully qualified name (YourNamespace.YourClassName) of your service class - the class that implements your service contract
your service contract in the endpoint must also be the fully qualified name of your service contract (YourNamespace.IYourServiceContract)
the behaviorConfiguration of your <service> tag must reference and match exactly to the name= attribute as defined in your <behaviors> section
And thirdly, on the client side, you need something like this:
<client>
<endpoint name="Default"
address="http://localhost:53931/WCF/Service1.svc"
binding="basicHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="LargeSettings"
contract="ServiceReference.IYourService" />
</client>
You need to reference the endpoint defined in your service's definition on the server side, you need to use the same binding and binding configuration, and you need to use the service contract as defined in your service reference.
For those using the built in service reference, just use the .Endpoint.Binding =THE NEW BINDING
ex:
BasicHttpBinding b = new BasicHttpBinding();
b.Security.Mode = BasicHttpSecurityMode.Transport;
...
b.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.None;
MyWebServiceReference.ServiceReferenceSoapClient objRE = new MyWebServiceReference.ServiceReferenceSoapClient("ServiceReferenceSoap", "URI");
objRE.Endpoint.Binding = b;
Use this setting for the your bindings,
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" messageEncoding="Text" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647" >
<readerQuotas maxStringContentLength="525288"></readerQuotas>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
I would like to use WCF service hosted in IIS (5/6) with integrated windows authentication enabled and anonymous access disabled. I tried to do this by following http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff648431.aspx, but getting an error saying certificate is not installed. But I don't need SSL. I don't have any clients expecting older ASMX services, so I don't need to use basicHttpBinding (and also it is not secure), so I tried to use wsHttpBinding.
How do I get wsHttpBinding with windows authentication to work without SSL? This is such a common requirement, but I couldn't find any solution for this. Can someone post the configuration for the client and the server please? I am using ASP.NET client.
My configuration below. and the exact error message is:
An error occurred while making the HTTP request to
https://mymachine/WCFTest/Service1.svc. This could be due to the fact
that the server certificate is not configured properly with HTTP.SYS
in the HTTPS case. This could also be caused by a mismatch of the
security binding between the client and the server.
I used "svcUtil" utility to generate the proxy class and configuration for the client.

I ended up using basicHttpBinding as explained in the article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff648505.aspx. posting the config for the client and the server below if anyone is interested. client config is generated using "svcutil".
server config:
