Question

User2021053726 posted

Hi,

   I have a WCF service hosted in console application which was provided by our client, which we are suppose to consume in our web application. This WCF Service is using "netnamedpipebinding". When i tried to add a reference to the service in my asp.net solution i am getting the following error "There was an error reading from the pipe: The pipe has been ended. (109, 0x6d)". Because of this error i am unable to add reference to the service in my asp.net solution.  net.pipe listner adapter is running. I also tried to download the metadata using svcutil but got the following error "This url does not support DISCO".

Please help.

Thanks,

Harish

Hi,

To narrow down the issue, do you try create a simple service with netnamedpipebinding binding at your side to test if it works? Below is the app.config for my test service, please have a try.

<system.serviceModel>
    <services>
      <service name="WcfServiceLibrary1.Service1">
        <endpoint address="net.pipe://localhost/Design_Time_Addresses/WcfServiceLibrary1/Service1/service" binding="netNamedPipeBinding" bindingConfiguration=""
          contract="WcfServiceLibrary1.IService1">
          <identity>
            <dns value="localhost" />
          </identity>
        </endpoint>
        <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
        <host>
          <baseAddresses>
            <add baseAddress="http://localhost:8732/Design_Time_Addresses/WcfServiceLibrary1/Service1/service" />
          </baseAddresses>
        </host>
      </service>
    </services>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior>
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="True"/>
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="False" />
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
  </system.serviceModel>

Also you can find a sample here.
