Instantiating WCF Service Weird Error - c#

I am trying to add a reference to a WCF service from my C# Desktop app.
I can add the service reference OK but as soon as I try to open the form within this desktop app I get this error:
NB. I have a UserControl that instantiates a reference to my WCF service and the control in in my GUI Form Class.
Could not find default endpoint element that references contract '' in
the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because
no configuration file was found for your application, or because no
endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the client
element.
This is in my app.config file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IMotionUpdater" messageEncoding="Mtom" />
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="http://a url/MotionUpdater.svc/MotionUpdater.svc"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IMotionUpdater"
contract="wsCloudFeeder.IMotionUpdater" name="BasicHttpBinding_IMotionUpdater" />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
And this is in my web.config file:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="basicHttpBindingEndPoint" maxReceivedMessageSize="10485760" messageEncoding="Mtom" closeTimeout="00:00:10" openTimeout="00:00:10" >
<readerQuotas maxArrayLength="32768"/>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<services>
<service name="MotionUpdater" behaviorConfiguration="ThrottledBehavior">
<endpoint address="MotionUpdater.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="basicHttpBindingEndPoint" contract="IMotionUpdater"></endpoint>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="ThrottledBehavior">
<serviceTimeouts transactionTimeout="1"/>
<serviceThrottling maxConcurrentCalls="64" maxConcurrentInstances="1" maxConcurrentSessions="50"
></serviceThrottling>/>
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
If I invoke this reference from a browser window it displays all OK.
It is only where I have a variable in my form class I get the error:
UserControl.Class:
private static wsCloudFeeder.MotionUpdaterClient wsFeeder = new wsCloudFeeder.MotionUpdaterClient();
Server Class:
[ServiceContract]
public interface IMotionUpdater
{
[OperationContract]
void UploadMotion(byte[] jpegStream, string alias, Int16 camIndex);
}
The extra weird thing is that when I run my application it all works no problem.
Also, I have tried just doing this in my control Class but still cannot open up my GUI form..
private static wsCloudFeeder.MotionUpdaterClient wsFeeder = null;
Thanks...

WCF Named Pipe in Windows Service using App.Config

I am frustrated. Okay, here is the error.
There was no endpoint listening at net.pipe://localhost/MyIpcAppToService that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
I finally got the App.Config file working, at least no complaints.
Current App.Config

I used to have:
<endpoint address="http://localhost:8733/MyIpcAppToService" ...
and in the Windows Service OnStart() event:
(this following code is now commented out, as of this question post, as the App.config file is supposed to start the named.pipe.)
public Boolean CreatePipeServer()
{
string eventText = $"My Service: CommAppToService::CreatePipeServer(IPC App to Service){Environment.NewLine}";
try
{
if (null != this.ServiceParent.HostIpcAppToService)
this.ServiceParent.HostIpcAppToService = null;
string pipeBaseAddress = #"net.pipe://localhost/MyIpcAppToService";
this.ServiceParent.HostIpcAppToService = new ServiceHost(typeof(IpcAppToService), new Uri(pipeBaseAddress));
NetNamedPipeBinding pipeBinding = new NetNamedPipeBinding()
{
//ReceiveTimeout = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, 0, Constants.My_TimeoutMsSendReceive),
//SendTimeout = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, 0, Constants.My_TimeoutMsSendReceive),
};
this.ServiceParent.HostIpcAppToService.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IIpcAppToService), pipeBinding, "MyIpcAppToService");
this.ServiceParent.HostIpcAppToService.UnknownMessageReceived += HostIpcAppServer_UnknownMessageReceived;

this.IpcAppToService = new IpcAppToService();

this.IpcAppToService.Validate(this.ServiceParent.HostIpcAppToService);
this.ServiceParent.HostIpcAppToService.Open();
return true;
}
I read that the service will AUTOMATICALLY start services placed in the App.Config file, really the MyExeName.exe.config file. I kept looking at the code and saw that it was nearly identical, so I replaced the http:// with net.pipe://.
Sadly, old code, new code, in between code, all nothing. I keep receiving the same error.
I use the following to connect to the service from my desktop application.
public static Boolean ConnectToService()
{
try
{
var callback = new IpcCallbackAppToService();
var context = new InstanceContext(callback);
var pipeFactory = new DuplexChannelFactory<IIpcAppToService>(context, new NetNamedPipeBinding(), new EndpointAddress("net.pipe://localhost/MyIpcAppToService"));
Program.HostIpcAppToService = pipeFactory.CreateChannel();
Program.HostIpcAppToService.Connect();
CommAppToService.IsPipeAppToService = true;
return true;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Log the exception.
Errors.LogException(ex);
}
return false;
}
For whatever it is worth, here is:
Interface
[ServiceContract(SessionMode = SessionMode.Allowed, CallbackContract = typeof(IIpcCallbackAppToService))]
public interface IIpcAppToService
{
[OperationContract(IsOneWay = false)]

}
public void SendMessage(string message)
{
//MessageBox.Show(message);
}
public UInt16 GetServiceId()

}
...
}
Inner Exception from my desktop WinForms Application
(Note, there were no further inner exceptions than this one.):
"The pipe endpoint 'net.pipe://localhost/MyIpcAppToService' could not be found on your local machine."
Why do I keep seeing this error?
UPDATE AFTER 1ST ANSWER
The direction that I would like to take is opposite of the answer, yet the same, namely that the service starts with the App.config and the client uses C# code.
Sadly, I still get the same error.

Program.HostIpcAppToService = pipeFactory.CreateChannel();
Program.HostIpcAppToService.Connect();
CommAppToService.IsPipeAppToService = true;
The service throws no exceptions that I can detect, as the EventViewer is clean, just the OnStart() successfully completed message. I know that the system processes the App.config file, as previously when I had errors, the Windows Event Viewer would keep complaining, but not anymore.
Here were some of the Microsoft docs that I used:
netNamedPipeBinding
netNamedPipeBinding2
I did try IO Ninja, but specifying \\.\pipe\MyIpcToService for File Stream, Pipe Listener, and Pipe Monitor, but nothing shows there, even when I try to connect using my WinForms desktop application, which then throws the no pipe listener found exception.
What can be the problem?
<endpoint address="net.pipe://localhost/MyIpcAppToService" binding="wsDualHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="MyAppToServiceEndpointBinding" contract="MyIpc.IIpcAppToService"/>
Make sure that the service address is in the same form (transport protocol) as the binding type.
TCP(net.tcp://localhost:8000/myservice) NetTcpBinding
IPC(net.pipe://localhost/mypipe) NetNamedPipeBinding
Http/Https(http://localhost:8000/myservice)
Wshttpbinding,Wsdualhttpbinding,basichttpbinding
WebSocket(ws://localhost:3434) Nethttpbinding
MSMQ(net.msmq://localhost/private/myservice) NetMsmqBinding
we are supposed to use NetnamedPipeBinding for the service address. Please refer to my example.

Self Hosting WCF service using app.Config files

I have self hosting WCF service that contains it's own app.Config to expose endpoints required for the service contracts. If the service is started in the programs.cs main method it all works just fine and the metadata is exposed via the browser. However, I created a HostService class based on the ServiceBase class which in the same host library and is instantiated within the program.cs file. The HostService class starts the service and has a timer method to ping other client web services for information.
My question is, when I created the HostService : ServiceBase class and instantiate it from the main(), I have to put a duplicate app.Config file in the Service Library in order for the endpoints to properly exposed and return the metadata/wsdl. I don't want to maintain 2 duplicate app.config files if possible. Currently the host library and service library both require one. Is there a way to only have just one w/ the host that could be used for both? Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm new to WCF =)
Program.cs
static void Main(string[] args){
var service = new HostService();
service.StartHostService(args);
}
HostService.cs
public partial class HostService : ServiceBase
{
internal void StartHostService(string[] args)
{
this.OnStart(args);
Console.ReadLine();
this.OnStop();
}
....
}
Short answer is no. There must be two configs, one for the client that consumes the WCF and one for the server that exposes that communication methods with the WCF.
In order for your client to work, your config must be set with Client Configuration
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<client>
<endpoint
name="endpoint1"
address="http://localhost/ServiceModelSamples/service.svc"
binding="wsHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="WSHttpBinding_IHello"
behaviorConfiguration="IHello_Behavior"
contract="IHello" >
<metadata>
<wsdlImporters>
<extension
type="Microsoft.ServiceModel.Samples.WsdlDocumentationImporter, WsdlDocumentation"/>
</wsdlImporters>
</metadata>
<identity>
<servicePrincipalName value="host/localhost" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
// Add another endpoint by adding another <endpoint> element.
<endpoint
name="endpoint2">
//Configure another endpoint here.
</endpoint>
</client>
//The bindings section references by the bindingConfiguration endpoint attribute.
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="WSHttpBinding_IHello"
bypassProxyOnLocal="false"
hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="32"/>
<reliableSession ordered="true"

<security mode="Message">
//Security settings go here.
</security>
</binding>
<binding name="Another Binding"
//Configure this binding here.
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
//The behavior section references by the behaviorConfiguration endpoint attribute.
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name=" IHello_Behavior ">
<clientVia />
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
notice the <client> tag specifying how the client must call the WCF.
and with Server Config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="myBindingConfiguration1" closeTimeout="00:01:00" />

</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<services>
<service name="MyNamespace.myServiceType">

<endpoint

<endpoint

Notice there is no <client> tag here.

Same WCF service with different EndPoints and Different Bindings For HTTPS

I have looked at several posts on SO which are showing how to add multiple endpoints for same service, but non of them is actually using HTTPS, which is why I am asking this question.
What I have
I have a web service,
https://portal.gov.com/us/216/_vti_bin/external/gov.svc
What I want
I want to call this web services using two different configurations, and bindings with different ENDPOINTS but SAME URL ?. (Sorry maybe I am confused with concept of EndPoints)
Here is what my web.config looks like,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="Gov_ServiceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="restBehavior">
<webHttp defaultBodyStyle="Wrapped" defaultOutgoingResponseFormat="Json" automaticFormatSelectionEnabled="true" />
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<bindings>
<webHttpBinding>
<binding name="Gov_webHttpBinding">
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="InheritedFromHost" />
</security>
</binding>
</webHttpBinding>
<!--<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="Gov_BasicHttpBinding">
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="InheritedFromHost" />
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>-->
</bindings>
<services>
<service name="Portal.WebServices.External.Gov" behaviorConfiguration="Gov_ServiceBehavior">
<endpoint address="" binding="webHttpBinding" behaviorConfiguration="restBehavior" contract="Portal.WebServices.External.IGov" bindingConfiguration="Gov_webHttpBinding"/>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
<!--<endpoint address="basic" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="Portal.WebServices.External.IGov" bindingConfiguration="Gov_BasicHttpBinding"/>-->
</service>
</services>
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
WHERE IS THE PAIN
IT only works until I keep basicHttpBinding commented out and it's endpoint, as soon as I include it, I get silent error.
According to this - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms751515(v=vs.110).aspx
It should work, but it doesn't maybe because I am using HTTPS and adding BINDINGS tag to my web.Config
What you are trying to achieve is impossible. You can't apply two different bindings with exactly the same Endpoint. If you try to read again your reference here it is clear that the sample has two different endpoints :
First address is http://localhost/servicemodelsamples/service.svc and the second
is http://localhost/servicemodelsamples/service.svc/secure. These two endpoints are different to each other but share with same contract.
The second endpoint is just relative to the base address http://localhost/servicemodelsamples/service.svc.
I hope this make your mind clear about binding and endpoint.

How to call a service using multiple Endpoint URIs

To put into context, I have a client application that will attempt to call a webservice that will be deployed on multiple web servers. The URI list will be obtained from the Settings.settings file of the client and a foreach loop will cycle through the URIs until the available service responds.
Let's say I have a service with the following contract:
[ServiceContract]
public interface ICMMSManagerService
{
[OperationContract]
ServerInfo GetServerInfo(string systemNumber);
}
In the web.config of the service's project, I have defined CMMSManager service with the the endpoint name: BasicHttpBinding_IWorkloadMngrService
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="WorkloadMngr">
<endpoint binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
<service name="CMMSManager">
<endpoint binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" name="BasicHttpBinding_IWorkloadMngrService" />
</service>
</services>
<client>
<remove contract="IMetadataExchange" name="sb" />
</client>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior>
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding>
<security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
<transport clientCredentialType="Windows"/>
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
On the client side, I have the following code executed when the application starts:
private void QueryWebServiceUrls()
{
var webServiceUrls = Properties.Settings.Default.WebServiceUrls;
foreach (var webServiceUrl in webServiceUrls)
{
try
{
var client = new CMMSManagerServiceClient("BasicHttpBinding_IWorkloadManagerService");
client.Endpoint.Address = new EndpointAddress(new Uri(webServiceUrl),
client.Endpoint.Address.Identity, client.Endpoint.Address.Headers);
client.Open();
var result = client.GetServerInfo("test");
}
catch (EndpointNotFoundException e)
{
continue;
}
catch (InvalidOperationException e)
{
break;
}
}
}
But the application crashes with an InvalidOperationException when the CMMSManagerServiceClient class is instanciated.
Could not find endpoint element with name
'BasicHttpBinding_IWorkloadMngrService' and contract
'ComClientService.ICMMSManagerService' in the ServiceModel client
configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was
found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching
this name could be found in the client element.
I have the following configuration in the app.config:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_ICMMSManagerService">
<security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
<transport clientCredentialType="Windows" />
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="http://localhost/WorkloadMngr/CMMSManagerService.svc"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_ICMMSManagerService"
contract="ComClientService.ICMMSManagerService" name="BasicHttpBinding_ICMMSManagerService" />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
I thought everything was valid by passing the BasicHttpBinding_ICMMSManagerService parameter to the CMMSManagerServiceClient class. I have no clue what am I missing at the moment... Any ideas?
The error is telling you exactly what's wrong: there is no endpoint with the name BasicHttpBinding_IWorkloadMngrService. The app.config says the endpoint is called BasicHttpBinding_ICMMSManagerService so your code should be:
var client = new CMMSManagerServiceClient("BasicHttpBinding_ICMMSManagerService");
Hope this helps.

public string EditSiteElement(int siteid, string name, string url, string description, int siteorder, bool active)
{
return Input.EditSiteElement(siteid, name, url, description, siteorder, active);
}
}
The references in the web form:
scriptManagerProxy.Services.Add(new ServiceReference("~/User/Input.svc"));
scriptManagerProxy.Scripts.Add(new ScriptReference("~/User/Input.js"));
JavaScript file:
//When edit button is clicked on row.
function EditSiteElement(siteid) {
InputService.GetSiteIdInfo(siteid, function (result) {
var stuff = result.split('¤');
$('[id$=TextBox_name]').val(stuff[0]);
$('[id$=TextBox_link]').val(stuff[1]);
$('[id$=TextBox_description]').val(stuff[2]);
$('[id$=CheckBox_active]').prop('checked', (stuff[3] == 'True'));
$('[id$=TextBox_order]').val(stuff[4]);
//Open the dialog
$("[id$=panel_Input]").dialog('open');
SiteIdForSave = siteid;
});
}
So, there are a couple of changes you have to do.
First, decorate the service method with the WebInvoke attribute which resides in the System.ServiceModel.Web namespace (you may have to add the reference to your project).
[OperationContract]
[System.ServiceModel.Web.WebInvoke] //add this attribute
public string EditSiteElement(int siteid, string name, string url, string description, int siteorder, bool active)
{
return Input.EditSiteElement(siteid, name, url, description, siteorder, active);
}
Second, in the InputService.svc file (in Visual Studio, right click on the InputService.svc file and select View Markup), add the Factory="System.ServiceModel.Activation.WebScriptServiceHostFactory" attribute:
<%# ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Factory="System.ServiceModel.Activation.WebScriptServiceHostFactory" Service="WebApplication6.InputService" CodeBehind="InputService.svc.cs" %>
Make sure that the target framework version for your application is 4.5.
[EDIT]
I suggest you modify the web.config's <system.serviceModel> section as follows. Please pay attention to the use of your namespaces (MyNamespace) and to the fact that I moved the behavior definition from the end point to the service level.
<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="InputServiceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true"/>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="InputServiceBehavior" name="MyNamespace.InputService">
<endpoint address="" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="MyNamespace.InputService" bindingConfiguration="webBinding"/>
</service>
</services>
<bindings>
<webHttpBinding>
<binding name="webBinding">
<!--<security mode="Transport">-->
<security mode="None"/>
</binding>
</webHttpBinding>
</bindings>
</system.serviceModel>
