when i run the  add the service reference it gave an error:
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'http://localhost:2508/'.
please help me out.

Answer 1

what do you see when you browse to your service metadata using any Browser..   Are you able to see the metadata there?
My guess is that something is not configured properly in your service and when you browse to the service metadata it should tell you what is wrong.

  When i rebuild the host service, it rebuild properly but in command prompt It give an error i.e

"could not find the base address that matches the scheme http for the endpoint with metadata ExchangeHttpBinding."

My app.config is just like:

<behavior name="Microsoft.Samples.Silverlight.PollingDuplex.Service.PubSubServiceBehavior">

          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>

          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>

          <serviceThrottling maxConcurrentSessions="2147483647"/>

        </behavior>

        <behavior name="behavior1">

          <serviceThrottling maxConcurrentSessions="2147483647" maxConcurrentCalls="2147483647" maxConcurrentInstances="2147483647"/>

        </behavior>

 <services>

      <service behaviorConfiguration="Microsoft.Samples.Silverlight.PollingDuplex.Service.PubSubServiceBehavior"

        name="JakayaConvo.WCF.JakayaChatService">

        <endpoint address="http://localhost:2508/JakayaChatService" binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="Jakayaconfig"

          contract="JakayaConvo.WCF.IJakayaChatService" />

        <endpoint contract="IMetadataExchange" binding="mexHttpBinding" address="mex" />

        <endpoint address="http://localhost:2508/wsservice" binding="wsDualHttpBinding" contract="JakayaConvo.WCF.IJakayaChatService">

          <identity>

            <dns value="localhost" />

          </identity>

        </endpoint>

       

      </service>

Answer 3

when you host your service, are you giving a base address in your ServiceHost ctor?

Answer 4

In Program.cs file, i used

   Uri netTcpAddress = new Uri("net.tcp://localhost:2509/");

             Uri httpAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:2508");

  ServiceHost serviceHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(JakayaChatService), new Uri[]                           { netTcpAddress,httpAddress });

 serviceHost.Open();

My App.config is

 <services>

      <service behaviorConfiguration="Microsoft.Samples.Silverlight.PollingDuplex.Service.PubSubServiceBehavior"

        name="JakayaConvo.WCF.JakayaChatService">

        <endpoint address="JakayaChatService" binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="Jakayaconfig"

          contract="JakayaConvo.WCF.IJakayaChatService" />

        <endpoint contract="IMetadataExchange" binding="mexHttpBinding" address="mex" />

        

        <!--<endpoint address="wsservice" binding="wsDualHttpBinding" contract="JakayaConvo.WCF.IJakayaChatService">

          <identity>

            <dns value="localhost" />

          </identity>

        </endpoint>-->

        <endpoint

           address="NetTcpService"

           contract="JakayaConvo.WCF.IJakayaChatService"

           binding="netTcpBinding"

          />

      

        <host>

          <baseAddresses>

            <add baseAddress="http://localhost:2508" />

            <add baseAddress="net.tcp://localhost:2509"/>

          </baseAddresses>

          

        </host>

      </service>

      <service behaviorConfiguration="behavior1" name="JakayaConvo.WCF.CrossDomainService">

        <endpoint address="" behaviorConfiguration="HttpEnableBehavior"

          binding="webHttpBinding" contract="JakayaConvo.WCF.ICrossDomain" />

      </service>

    </services>

Answer 5

please compare my sample with your scenario..

using System;
using System.ServiceModel;

namespace SelfHost
{
    [ServiceContract]
    interface IContract1
    {
        [OperationContract]
        string Operation1();
    }

    public class Service: IContract1
    {
        string IContract1.Operation1()
        {
            return "OP1";
        }
    }
       
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Uri httpAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:8002/Service");
            ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(Service), httpAddress);
            host.Open();
            Console.WriteLine("host opened");
            Console.Read();
            host.Close();
        }
    }
}

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <system.serviceModel>
    <services>
      <service name="SelfHost.Service" behaviorConfiguration="beh">
        <endpoint address="svc" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="SelfHost.IContract1"></endpoint>
        <endpoint address="net.tcp://localhost:8001/Service/net" binding="netTcpBinding" contract="SelfHost.IContract1"></endpoint>
        <endpoint name="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" binding="mexHttpBinding" address="mex" />
      </service>
    </services>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="beh" >
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
  </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

I am able to add a reference to http://localhost:8002/Service and test the service using WCFTestClient

Answer 6

do you have sample to consume this above coding in asp.net 

Answer 7

In ASP.NET application, you can add service Refererence(or Add Web services) to generate the proxy class and configuration information for invoking WCF service in this situation.
