Hello, I just started with the WCF REST Starter Kit. I created a simple service that return an array of an object. Using the browser, everything works fine but when I use a WCF client, I get an ArgumentException. I'm not using IIS and here is the code: The contract: [ServiceContract] public interface IGiftService { [WebGe...
I am getting this exception "The communication object, System.ServiceModel.Channels.ServiceChannel, cannot be used for communication because it is in the Faulted state" The WCF service uses the default wsHttpBinding. I am using WCF in the following way wherever I am using it - using (var proxy = new CAGDashboardServiceClien...
This has happened a couple of times to me know. If I add to many OperationContract's to a ServiceContract, the WCF Test Client app throws an exception: "Failed to add a service. Service metadata may not be accessible. Make sure your service is running and exposing metadata." In the details it continues: Error: Cannot obtain Metadata ...
I like instantiating my WCF service clients within a using block as it's pretty much the standard way to use resources that implement IDisposable: using (var client = new SomeWCFServiceClient()) { //Do something with the client } But, as noted in this MSDN article, wrapping a WCF client in a using block could mask any errors tha...
I'm getting an error when trying to use the WCF Test Client with my WCF service. Here is the service code: [ServiceContract] public interface IEmployeeService { [OperationContract(Name = "GetEmployee")] [WebGet(RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml, UriTemplate = "/Employees/{employeeNumber}")] Employee GetEmployee(strin...
I've a WCF client communicating with an unknown server implementation which I have no control over. This client works fine it just doesn't like, what appears to be, incorrectly formed SOAP Fault messages. The messages I receive look like: <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <soap:Header>...</so...
I am trying to create a wcf client for tinyUrl. However, the tinyUrl API returns a plain text response and the WCF webHttpBinding doesn't seem to understand it. Is there anyway to tell WCF I am expecting a plain text response from the server? ...
I'm busy building a .NET WCF framework for my company which will allow us to quickly and easily implement community type websites moving forward.

I am still learning the whole WCF thing, so please bear with me here. What I have is two self hosted services created using C# and VS 2008: Service # 1 Adds two numbers and returns the result. Service # 2 Returns the square of a number. I want the client to be able to send in two numbers to Service 1, get the sum and then send the su...
I'm trying to write a simple WCF Server + gSOAP client proof-of-concept application using SOAP 1.2 protocol. Here's server code: [ServiceContract(Namespace="http://test.com")] public interface IService1 { [OperationContract] void HelloWorld(); } [ServiceBehavior(Namespace = "http://test.com")] public class Service1 : IService1 ...
Just like the title says. Does each authenticated WCF client connection to a WCF server that you have developed need a windows CAL? http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/client-licensing.aspx Microsoft's licensing on that page sure makes it sound like it, but I can't find anything out there that confirms, or even denies thi...
I'm trying to get hold of an object from another application using WCF. With built in classes it works fine but I run into probems when trying to return a custom interface type from the WCF operation. Whether I include the interface in both applications separately, or specif it as a shared assembly, I get the same result: a Communicati...
I have a solution that has some EF objects. I want to pass them down to the client. When I try to test this in the WCFTestClient.exe I get this error on my objects: "This operation is not supported in the wcf test client" Is there a way to set things up so I can pass my Entity objects down to the client or am I going to have to make ...
I have a web application that exposes web services using WCF and wsHttpBindings. It is possible to have the application on different machines and different urls. This would mean the WCF service location would be different for each. I am building a Windows Service that will reference each application and perform a task. Each task needs t...
In our application we are forced to consume several WebServices. In the beginning we used just the "Add Service Reference" menu option, in order to create a WCF proxy. The wizard didn't generate a DataContract, but much rather an XML-Serializable class. So far, so bad, but this wasn't the killer. However, later we noticed, that we were ...
Hi Is it possible to create WCF proxy by the given config file, not app.config? Thanks a lot! ...
Morning: Looking to make a Client that sends serialized Message objects back to a server via WCF. To make things easy for the end-developer (different departments) would be best that they didn't need to know how to edit their config file to set up the client end point data. That said, would also be brilliant that the endpoint wasn't e...
Hi, For example I have two services hosted in IIS. [ServiceContract] public interface IDeviceService { [OperationContract] DeviceCollection GetAllDevices(Customer customer); } [ServiceContract] public interface IUserService { [OperationContract] User Authenticate(string username, string password); } Both the User ...
I have an ASP.NET webpage that has a web reference to a SOAP WSDL. If I call the methods associated with this WSDL (the methods live on another server), everything works fine. However, I'd like to be able to dynamically change the endpoint address where the WSDL points. The reason being that we host the same set of web services for diffe...
