Answer 2

Hi,

I took a deeper look at the exception till the end

 

at System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.ImmutableDispatchRuntime.AfterReceiveRequestCore(MessageRpc& rpc)
   at System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.ImmutableDispatchRuntime.AfterReceiveRequest(MessageRpc& rpc)
   at System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.ImmutableDispatchRuntime.ProcessMessage2(MessageRpc& rpc)
   at System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.ImmutableDispatchRuntime.ProcessMessage1(MessageRpc& rpc)
   at System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.MessageRpc.Process(Boolean isOperationContextSet)).}

Commenting in the web.config

the sections describing TCP endpoint and binding solves this.

   <!--<netTcpBinding>
        <binding name="EndPointTCP" />
      </netTcpBinding>-->

 <!--<endpoint address="net.tcp://localhost/WCF/Service1.svc"
        binding="netTcpBinding" bindingConfiguration="EndPointTCP" contract="Class1.IServ"
        name="EndPointTCP">
        <identity>
          <servicePrincipalName value="host/localhost" />
        </identity>
      </endpoint>-->

The reason is that the only protocol enabled is HTTP hence

only http endpoint is permitted.

 

Thanks,

Regards.

Post the service code on which the exception is thrown and your configuration.

Answer 4

I suppose that some code on your service is handling message headers incorrectly. There are 5 message headers available, and the code specifies incorrect header index. Try searching your solution by "GetReaderAtHeader". Also try attaching a debuger to your WCF service.
