WCF Service for Windows Mobile App running but I cannot connect

Question

This is my first attempt at using WCF as well as my first Windows Mobile App. I have been following this tutorial: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc488004(v=vs.90).aspx

I have created a WCF service, the WCF Service host dialog box pops up and says the service is started with no errors. Yet when I try to navigate to it through my browser it does not work. Everything I am using is on my local machine which is running Windows 7.

I have disabled all firewalls.

I am at a loss here, it says it is started yet I cannot navigate to it. I get an http 400 error when I try.

The metadata address is http://myip:8731/ElectricReadingCacheSyncService

Here is my config code:

<system.serviceModel>
   <services>
      <service name="MiddleTierServiceLibrary.ElectricReadingCacheSyncService" behaviorConfiguration="MiddleTierServiceLibrary.ElectricReadingCacheSyncServiceBehavior">
        <host>
          <baseAddresses>
            <add baseAddress="http://MYIP:8731/ElectricReadingCacheSyncService/"   />
          </baseAddresses>
        </host>
        <endpoint 
            address=""  
            binding="basicHttpBinding"  
            contract="MiddleTierServiceLibrary.IElectricReadingCacheSyncContract">
          <identity>
            <dns value="MYIP"/>
          </identity>
        </endpoint>
        <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
     </service>
   </services>
   <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="MiddleTierServiceLibrary.ElectricReadingCacheSyncServiceBehavior">
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="True"/>
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetai! lInFault s="True" />
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
   </behaviors>
</system.serviceModel>

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

You're adding a base address to the configuration:

... add baseAddress="http://MYIP:8731/ElectricReadingCacheSyncService/"/>' ...

For the data exchange, you're adding "mex":

The mex gets appended to your base address. On your browser, go to:

http://MYIP:8731/ElectricReadingCacheSyncService/ mex

and you should see the results.
