        <system.serviceModel>

          <!--<serviceHostingEnvironment>
            <baseAddressPrefixFilters>
              <add prefix="http://griduni.uninova.pt"/>
            </baseAddressPrefixFilters>

            <!--<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"
                multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />-->

            <bindings>
                <customBinding>
                    <binding name="ExampleTeste45.Web.Service.SilverlightWCF.customBinding0">

            <behaviors>
                <serviceBehaviors>
                    <behavior name="SimpleServiceBehavior">
                        <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true" />
                        <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
                    </behavior>
                </serviceBehaviors>
            </behaviors>
            <!--<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"
                multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />-->
        </system.serviceModel>
    </configuration>

my Service Markup:

<%@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="ExampleTeste45.Web.Service.SilverlightWCF" CodeBehind="SilverlightWCF.svc.cs" %>

the solutions that i saw by google didn't work , the Service="ExampleTeste45.Web.Service.SilverlightWCF" in Markup is correct the endpoint addres is blank by definition and I saw that its getting the right addres, so what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseaddress="http://YourSiteNameORyourhostingmachineName/" /> </baseAddresses>
</host>

In the end before closing </service> node

Answer 2

In your service element you may need to add your interface to the contract attribute - contract="ISilverlightWCF"

<service name="ExampleTeste45.Web.Service.SilverlightWCF"
                behaviorConfiguration="SimpleServiceBehavior">
                <endpoint address="" binding="customBinding"
                bindingConfiguration="ExampleTeste45.Web.Service.SilverlightWCF.customBinding0"
                contract="ISilverlightWCF" />
