BadImageFormatException IIS hosted WCF service Win7 x86, VS2010b2 - wcf

Question

My system is Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. Running Visual Studio 2010 beta 2 targeting .Net 4.
I have a project containing service contracts.
A project containing the services.
And an ASP.NET Web Application that is hosting the services in IIS.
I've written my own Clients using the ChannelFactory().CreateChannel()...
Whenever I run my application that uses the ServiceClient and calls a method on the service, I get this error:
An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
(Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)
I've tried to add a service reference in VS, so that the service client is auto-generated and that doesn't change anything.
Then I tried to create a new WCF Service Application from the Web category in VS2010, adding a service reference and calling the standard GetData method That works fine, so it is for sure my service or the hosting of the service that goes wrong...
UPDATE
I noticed that this error was only present when using wsHttpBindings. basicHttpBindings works fine.
This is how I instantiate the service:
private IAdminService _AdminService;
public AdminServiceClient()
{
_AdminService = new ChannelFactory<IAdminService>(String.Empty)
.CreateChannel();
}
Client config settings:
<system.serviceModel>
<client>
<endpoint address="http://AdminServices/svcs/AdminService.svc"
binding="wsHttpBinding"
contract="MyApp.Admin.Model.ServiceContracts.IAdminService" />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
My service looks like this:
public class AdminService : IAdminService
{
public User GetUserByEmail(string email)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
public void CreateUser(string fullname, string email,
string encryptedPassword,
string encryptedPasswordQuestion,
string encryptedPasswordAnswer)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
public IEnumerable<Application> GetApplications()
{
IEnumerable<Application> apps = new List<Application>();
// Call data access layer method to retrieve Applications
return apps;
}
public IEnumerable<ApplicationInstance> GetApplicationInstances(
long? applicationId)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
public Dictionary<string, string> GetApplicationsAndInstances()
{
Dictionary<string, string> appsAndInstances =
new Dictionary<string, string>();
appsAndInstances.Add("Dummy 1", "1");
appsAndInstances.Add("Dummy 2", "2");
return appsAndInstances;
}
}
My AdminService.svc file looks like this:
<%# ServiceHost Service="MyApp.Admin.Services.AdminService" %>
My Service Host config looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true"
targetFramework="4.0" />
</system.web>
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="MyApp.Admin.Services.AdminService">
<endpoint address=""
binding="wsHttpBinding"
contract="MyApp.Admin.Model.ServiceContracts.IAdminService" />
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior>
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
</system.serviceModel>
<system.webServer>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
I've also tried to create a new Console App, and add a service reference to http://AdminServices/svcs/AdminService.svc - that doesn't work either.
I've added AdminServices to my hosts file, and I can browse http://AdminServices/svcs/AdminService.svc and see the service information...

Answer 1

The most obvious cause would be that you are loading a 64 bits DLL into a 32 bits process or visa versa. However given that you are running everything on a a 32 bits development box I assume this isn't the case.
The other option is a .NET bug using a generic constraint like this:
public class SpecificClass: BaseClass: where T : class { }
If you remove the where T : class it should work just fine.
