WCF No endpoint listening at 'localhost', incorrect address, error (404) not found

Question

This is my first WCF ReST Service in C#.

Calc.svc.cs

namespace WcfService1
{
    public class Calc : ICalc
    {
        public string XMLData(string id)
        {
            return "XML product " + id;
        }

        public string JSONData(string id)
        {
            return "JSON product " + id;
        }
    }
}

ICalc.cs

namespace WcfService1
{
    [ServiceContract]
    public interface ICalc
    {
        [OperationContract]
        [WebInvoke(Method = "GET",
            ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml,
            BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped,
            UriTemplate = "xml/{id}")]
        string XMLData(string id);

        [OperationContract]
        [WebInvoke(Method = "GET",
            ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
            BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped,
            UriTemplate = "json/{id}")]
        string JSONData(string id);
    }
}

Web.Config at Service

Web.Config at Client

  <system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
      <webHttpBinding>
        <binding name="webHttpBinding_IService1" />
      </webHttpBinding>

                binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="webHttpBinding_IService1" />
    </client>
  </system.serviceModel>

In Client .cs file

WcfService1.CalcClient cal = new CalcClient();
Label.Text = cal.XMLData("xmldata123");

Error Message:

There was no endpoint listening at http://localhost:7510/Calc.svc/XMLData that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.-

InnerException:

System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found. at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() at System.ServiceModel.Channels.HttpChannelFactory`1.HttpRequestChannel.HttpChannelRequest.WaitForReply(TimeSpan timeout)

While debugging I got this message:

Could anyone please explain me which part gives me error. Really I am not aware of the error part. Its working in the URL but not inside the client application.

Answer 1

I found out the solution. I used webHttpBinding in Service but called over SOAP in client. Thats the issue. Now I m calling the client using ReST and solved it.

Original Client code (SOAP model)

WcfService1.CalcClient cal = new CalcClient();
Label.Text = cal.XMLData("xmldata123");

Updated Client code using ReST model

        HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
        HttpResponseMessage wcfResponse = client.GetAsync(string.Format("http://localhost:7510/Calc.svc/xmlData/{0}", "hello")).Result;
        HttpContent stream = wcfResponse.Content;
        var data = stream.ReadAsStringAsync();
        Label.Text = data.Result;
