尝试从Visual Studio添加Https服务时出现“无法创建SSL / TLS安全通道”错误

Question

I am trying to add Service Https Service Reference to Visual Studio.

The https://thelinkiamtrying.com/Service.svc link opens in browser without problem. But when I try to add it through Visual studio interface, (Add Service Reference) I get the following error:

"There was an error downloading ' https://thelinkiamtrying.com/Service.svc/databin/ListData.svc/ $metadata'. The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel. Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: ' https://thelinkiamtrying.com/Service.svc '. Could not establish secure channel for SSL/TLS with authority 'thelinkiamtrying.com'. The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel. If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.

What should I do to add this Service?

If you just show me that how can I call it without using the interface and from codebehind, that would help too.

I had the same problem and resolved this by using another version of Visual Studio. VS 2012 did not let me add service reference with the exact same error message, but VS 2015 added it with no errors. Then I was able to save the project and open it again in VS 2012.
