Answer 1

Works fine for me when I put the below <endpoint> into the <service>

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

You need this code if you are trying to get at the metadata of your service

Answer 2

Please post IUploadFile interface and also how you are hosting to help you more quickly.

If hosting in IIS, make sure you have your endpoint address as shown below:

http://localhost/virtualdirectoryname/resourcename 

resource name as specified on your webget/webinvoke attribute.

Answer 3

it didn't help. Basically, what I am trying to do is, to upload a file from my client web application to a wcf service.
I am also inserting my interface here.

public interface Iuploadfile
    {
        [OperationContract]
        [WebGet]
        string GetData(int value);
        [OperationContract]
        [WebInvoke(UriTemplate="FileUpload/{fileName}")]
        void Uploadfile (string fileName, Stream fileStream);
    }

Answer 4

When using IIS endpoint address should be left blank

Answer 5

yes. The endpoint address is left blank. It didn't work.

Answer 6

I see your problem. When using a stream you can't pass another parameter. You can only have a stream. eg:

void Uploadfile (Stream fileStream);
Stream Uploadfile (Stream fileStream);
Stream Uploadfile ();

Above shows the three ways you can use Operations with streams

1. Pass a stream with no return

2. Pass a stream and return a stream

3. No parameter But return a stream

Also, add this as a binding configuration

      <webHttpBinding>
        <binding name="webHttp" transferMode="StreamedRequest">          
        </binding>
      </webHttpBinding> 

Answer 7

As said when you require a Stream parameter you cannot have another parameter that can be passed but as an alternative you can use a MultiPartParser that would seperate multiple parts of a stream.

FAQ

Error in restrictions section

"Operations that occur across a streamed transport can have a contract with at most one input or output parameter."

This is not correct with respect to WebHttpBinding.  In .NET 4.0 the contract for streaming request can have several parameters, the last of which must be a Stream.
