Calling a custom WCF application from a SharePoint 2010 Web Part

Question

All,

I created a WCF application that interacts with data in a database. I also created a new visual web part that consumes it.

I also created an ASP.NET application that calls the web part the exact way.

The web part does not work, it gets the following message, however the ASP.NET application does work.

Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'ServiceReference1.IService' in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the client element.

Answer 1

lol, that was quick... I found the answer... I had one last thing that I wanted to try first before I did anything else.

I coppied the code that was in the app.config in my VisualWebPart project into the area in the sharepoints web.config file.
