Yes. I am trying a demo put on by Michele Bustamante. She creates a host and service and starts it up. Then right clicks on the References tab in the client project to "Add a Service Reference". She is using VS 2005. I can perform this same process in VS 2008, but when I try it in VS 2010 the "Add Service Reference" is not even shown on the right click context menu ( or the Project menu ) for me to try it.
I do not believe it has anything to do with debug mode.
Client:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher;
namespace Client
{
// if not using runtime WSDL uncomment the contract info
//[ServiceContract(Namespace="http://www.basicwcf/test/2010/01")]
//public interface IWcfService
//{
// [OperationContract]
// string GetValue(string value);
//}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
IWcfService proxy = ChannelFactory<IWcfService>.CreateChannel(new NetTcpBinding(),
new EndpointAddress("net.tcp://localhost:9000/WcfService"));
//localhost.WcfServiceClient proxy = new localhost.WcfServiceClient();
string s = proxy.GetValue("Hello from client");
Console.WriteLine(s);
Console.ReadLine(); ;
}
}
}
