使用WCF服务时找不到端点元素

Question

Getting the below error when trying to consume WCF service . I looked into this issue and both name and contract values are same in both config files .

Could not find endpoint element with name 'BasicHttpBinding_IService1' and contract 'ServiceReference1.IService1' in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this name could be found in the client element.

WCF service is class liberary in my solution and i am trying consume it in another class liberary project under same solution.

Client.config

  <endpoint address="http://localhost:8733/Design_Time_Addresses/WcfServiceLibrary1/Service1/"
    binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IService1"
    contract="ServiceReference1.IService1" name="BasicHttpBinding_IService1" />
</client>

WCF config file

<configuration>

  <appSettings>
    <add key="aspnet:UseTaskFriendlySynchronizationContext" value="true" />
  </appSettings>
  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true" />
  </system.web>

  app.config file. System.Configuration does not support config files for libraries. -->

            <add baseAddress = "http://localhost:8733/Design_Time_Addresses/WcfServiceLibrary1/Service1/" />

Answer 1

I think your problem as you said in your question" You are trying to consume the service in a class library and calling the class library from another project." Refer to this link for original answer. link

To solve your issue you just need to copy client binding details to main caller project configuation file.

  <system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
      <basicHttpBinding>
        <binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IService1" />
      </basicHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <client>
      <endpoint address="http://localhost:8733/Design_Time_Addresses/WcfServiceLibrary1/Service1/"
        binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IService1"
        contract="ServiceReference1.IService1" name="BasicHttpBinding_IService1" />
    </client>
  </system.serviceModel>

Answer 2

Try fullname identifiers with complete namespaces for your service name and contract.

<service name="SOLUTIONNAME.WcfServiceLibrary1.Service1">
     <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" 
     contract="SOLUTIONNAME.WcfServiceLibrary1.IService1">
     ...

 </service>
