When I try to test the AutoLotWCFService using "wcftestclient", I get the following error. What am I doing wrong? Any insight will help. This is a simple Web Service that has wshttpbinding with interface contract and the implementation in the service. Here is the long error message: The Web.Config file has 2 endpoints - one for Web Service itself and other for metaDataExchange. Its all pretty much default stuff. I can include the code if needed - it seems I cannot attach files here.
