WCF Client works with Visual Studio Host but not with custom Host program

I have a wcf project, very standard in first place.
The problem is when i Host it with Visual Studio, it works just fine
But when i host it with my custom made program, im getting errors.
System.Exception: Couldn't create ActiveX Component.
at Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.GetObject(String PathName, String Class)
System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: The type "DiskViewBox.DiskViewItem" in assembly "DiskViewBox, Version=1.0.3401.18107, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" is not marked as serialisable.
I want to run it as a Windows Service later on.
I assume the problem is not in the client, because it works, and unfortunately i dont know how Visual Studio is hosting it, so i cant compare it to the custom Host.
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Description;
using WcfService1;
namespace WcfServiceHost
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Step 1: Create a URI to serve as the base address.
Uri baseAddress = new Uri("net.tcp://localhost:7891/Test/WcfService1/Service1/");
// Step 2: Create a ServiceHost instance.
using (ServiceHost selfHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(Service1), baseAddress))
{
try
{
// Step 3: Add a service endpoint.
selfHost.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IService1), new NetTcpBinding(), "IService1");
// Step 4: Enable metadata exchange.
ServiceMetadataBehavior smb = new ServiceMetadataBehavior();
//smb.HttpGetEnabled = true;
selfHost.Description.Behaviors.Add(smb);
// Step 5: Start the service.
selfHost.Open();
Console.WriteLine("The service is ready.");
// Close the ServiceHost to stop the service.
Console.WriteLine("Press <Enter> to terminate the service.");
Console.WriteLine();
Console.ReadLine();
selfHost.Close();
}
catch (CommunicationException ce)
{
Console.WriteLine("An exception occurred: {0}", ce.Message);
selfHost.Abort();
}
}
}
}
}

The client is written in VB because the access is from a VB environment and its easier to Debug in VS.

could not establish secure channel for ssl/tls with authority wcf C# wcf rest service

I create a client application that get data from my rest wcf service as you can see :
Uri reqUri = new Uri("https://localhost/paymentservice.svc/listpayment");
WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create(reqUri);
req.PreAuthenticate = true;
NetworkCredential credential = new NetworkCredential("test", "test123");
req.Credentials = credential;
WebResponse resp = req.GetResponse();
DataContractSerializer data = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(string));
var res = data.ReadObject(resp.GetResponseStream());
Console.WriteLine(res);
Console.ReadLine();
I create a certificate in iis as you can se :
And upload my published file on it .
But when i call my client i get this error :
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Net.WebException' occurred in System.dll
Additional information: The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel
Here is my service webconfig

When irun the project in visual studio and call this url http://localhost:4428/PaymentService.svc/listpayment I get the data as you can see :
But when i upload the publish file into iis and call this url https://localhost/PaymentService.svc/listpayment as you can see i get this error :
As you can see when i call this https://localhost/PaymentService.svc my service is available .

You need to install the certificate as trusted source.
Open a command prompt with admin rights, type "mmc" and press enter which will open Microsoft Management Console.
From Menu go to File > Add/Remove Snap-In, select Certificates and Click Add
Select Computer Account and click Next, select Local Computer and click Finish.
Go to Certificates (Local Computer) > Personal > Certificates
From the Menu go to Action > All Tasks > Import
Click Next in the Certificate Import Wizard, Provide the path to the certificate file, enter the password if any then click Next, Next and Finish.
Now you will be back to Microsoft Management Console, click on Trusted Root Certification Authorities, select Certificates, Action > All Tasks > Import and follow the step 6.
Also the hostname used in the URL should match the name that's on certificate. Make sure the URL you're using and the URL on the 'Issued to' field of the certificate are the same.

To get rid of this error use the machine name exactly same as your certificate section “Issued to” says. For example, if you open your certificate then you’ll see issued to property and which should be your Machine name. If your machine is part of a domain then machine name would be like .. etc, so if you open it in your browser will fully qualified name of your machine then you won’t be getting that error.
So i just call my service by domain like https://union-pc58.union.com/Service1.svc
Just follow this link

Queue showing empty

So this is pretty new to me and I'm making progress. I currently have a wcf service using netmsmqbinding to send a simple message to a queue. Everything runs smooth and the event view even says that the message was put in the queue. Although when I goto the actual queue there is nothing in there. I have a service, service host, and asp web app. Note in the web app I have a service reference to the service. Also in the msmq log in the event viewer I get 3 events. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.
Here's my setup.

public void ShowMessage(string msg)

It seems to be related to your transaction.
You should try to place [TransactionFlow(TransactionFlowOption.Allowed)] on the operation in the service contract. Something like:
[ServiceContract]
public interface IMSMQService
{
[OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)]
[TransactionFlow(TransactionFlowOption.Allowed)]
void ShowMessage(string msg);
}
Anyway, you should be aware of local transactions if you decide to deploy this on web farm or something that involves multiple computers.

Figured it out. I had to add a namespace to the servicecontract. Prior it would default to some kind of tempuri.
[ServiceContract(Namespace = "http://MyService")]
public interface IMSMQService
{
[OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)]
[TransactionFlow(TransactionFlowOption.Allowed)]
void ShowMessage(string msg);
}

When client uses the WCF service it and when it tries to execute "using (DbEntities dbContext = new DbEntities())" it goes to
public partial class DbEntities : DbContext {
public DbEntities()
: base("name=DbEntities")
and throws exception
typeinitializationexception was unhandled .The type initializer for 'System.Data.Entity.Internal.AppConfig' threw an exception.

It is very generic exception so in your editor try reading the whole details of the exception and then resolve it.
For me, it was due to the entity framework version written in webconfig file and actual file included ,there was difference and also i had to remove providers tag in web config file of my project

Failing to get MSMQ WCF Window Service to function

I'm trying to create a MSMQ WCF service, although I'm having troubles running the code. It fails when trying to create an instance of the service. I have MSMQ installed, and can confirm there is a private created called 'servicemodelsamples'
When running the service, I received the following error;
Service cannot be started. System.InvalidOperationException: There was
an error opening the queue. Ensure that MSMQ is installed and running,
the queue exists and has proper authorization to be read from. The

Any ideas? I suspect it might because I've based the code on an example which was a winforms application.

Check the user under which the Service is running. Add permission to the queues manually.
If the queues have broken permissions you should reset the permissions manually in C:\Windows\System32\msmq\storage\lqs using a notepad.
