WCF Service Library with NetTcpBinding

Question

Hello, I'm having a tough time with NetTcpBinding.

When I run my WCFservice,I get this...

============================================================== System.InvalidOperationException: Could not find a base address that matches scheme net.tcp for the endpoint with binding NetTcpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [http]. at System.ServiceModel.ServiceHostBase.MakeAbsoluteUri(Uri relativeOrAbsoluteUri, Binding binding, UriSchemeKeyedCollection baseAddresses) at System.ServiceModel.Description.ConfigLoader.LoadServiceDescription(ServiceHostBase host, ServiceDescription description, ServiceElement serviceElement, Action`1 addBaseAddress) at System.ServiceModel.ServiceHostBase.LoadConfigurationSectionInternal(ConfigLoader configLoader, ServiceDescription description, ServiceElement serviceSection) at System.ServiceModel.ServiceHostBase.LoadConfigurationSectionInternal(ConfigLoader configLoader, ServiceDescription description, String configurationName) at System.ServiceModel.ServiceHostBase.ApplyConfiguration() at System.ServiceModel.ServiceHostBase.InitializeDescription(UriSchemeKeyedCollection baseAddresses) at System.ServiceModel.ServiceHost.InitializeDescription(Type serviceType, UriSchemeKeyedCollection baseAddresses) at System.ServiceModel.ServiceHost..ctor(Type serviceType, Uri[] baseAddresses) at Microsoft.Tools.SvcHost.ServiceHostHelper.CreateServiceHost(Type type, ServiceKind kind) at Microsoft.Tools.SvcHost.ServiceHostHelper.OpenService(ServiceInfo info)

==========================================================================

I'm getting this when I run the application by default using WCFSvcHost. There's no extra code.Just the default code of any new wcf service. All I wanted to do was change the binding to tcp.

How do I solve this problem?

Thanks

Edit: Here's my WCF's App.Config

====================================

Answer 1

In this section

<host>          
  <baseAddresses>            
    <add baseAddress="http://localhost:8731/.../" />   
  </baseAddresses>        
</host>

add a net.tcp:// base address.

Answer 2

I'm sure by now you've fixed the issue, but it really is nothing to do with baseAddresses which is what all the bullentin boards lead you to. I found the answer at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/wcf/thread/c9f8d99d-89ee-4573-8528-a21b047bad11. Assuming you are using IIS 7.x: right click the virtual directory/application in IIS, select Manage application -> Advanced settings. In the 'Enabled Protocols' section add net.tcp, e.g.: http,net.tcp. This is necessary even if you added this protocol already at the site level.

Answer 3

1. Verify the Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service is started on the machine
2. Verify the configuration netTcpBinding portSharingEnabled attribute is true. (In WCF4 you don't need to provide a name on the binding element if you want this binding specification to be the default for net.tcp)
