Consume WCF hosted in a Windows Service from a ASP.NET application

Question

User-2066177896 posted

Hi,

I created a WCF service and hosted it in a Windows Service. I installed the windows Service using InstallUtil on my local PC.

If i have to comnsume it from a web application how do iadd the reference? How can i consume this service?

EDIT:

When i try to add service reference :   net.tcp://localhost:8731/Design_Time_Addresses/WCFJobsLibrary/Jobs

I get the following errors:

Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'net.tcp://localhost:8731/Design_Time_Addresses/WCFJobsLibrary/Jobs/'.
Could not connect to net.tcp://localhost:8731/Design_Time_Addresses/WCFJobsLibrary/Jobs/. The connection attempt lasted for a time span of 00:00:02.0010000. TCP error code 10061: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8731.
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8731
If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.

Thanks
