WCF doesn't find client configuration

Question

Hi !

I have a WCF service on server B. Then on the machine A is the client, which is a Windows service. In a separate dll stands all the business logic for this service. So my proxy for the WCF is on that side. I have 2 app.config (client side only) : 1 for the service and another one in the dll. So I tried (for test purpose) puting the servicemodel config section in both. Both still, it doesn't work, it says that it can't find the endpoint with that name and for that contract...

What I'm trying to do here is modify the configuration programatically. Here' the code in the business layer dll :

Dim ep As New EndpointAddress(New Uri(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings(nomServeurCible)), _
                                    EndpointIdentity.CreateDnsIdentity(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("Identity_" & nomServeurCible)))

    serviceCible = New ServiceProxy.ExecOperClient("wsHttp", ep)

And here is a sample of the config file :

<add key="TEST1" value="http://TEST1:8000/MySpacePerso/ExecOperService"/&gt;
<add key="TEST1_CertificateSerialNumber" value="10 hj 6y 7b 00 01 32 12 01 21"/>
<add key="Identity_TEST1" value="TEST1"/>

<system.serviceModel>
<client>
  <endpoint address="http://SERV_NAME:8000/CSSTQDA/ExecOperService" binding="wsHttpBinding"
            behaviorConfiguration="myClientBehavior"
            bindingConfiguration="MybindingCon" contract="ExecOper.Service.IExecOper" 
            name="wsHttp">
    <identity>
      <dns value="SERV_CERT_NAME"/>
    </identity>
  </endpoint>
</client>
<bindings>
  <wsHttpBinding>
    <binding name="MybindingCon">
      <security mode="Message">
        <message clientCredentialType="UserName" />
      </security>
    </binding>
  </wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>

Well, it turns out it was just a matter of ConfigurationName tag in my proxy class... Sorry :-) It didn't have the correct namespace for my contract. The fully qualified name must match the one in the app.config.
