Hi,

I have a website that i have created using Visual Studio 2008. I am using WCF Service to fetch and retrieve some information from my SQL server 2008. Everything works fine when the website is running and When I hosted in IIS in My Local System,it got an error like,

no connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1 visual studio

However if i try and access my page that uses the WCF Services,i recieve the error about the connection being refused.

Has anyone give me any solution?

Thanks&Regards,
swathi

hi,

It happen because of you have multiple project inside single solution,and you have added web service reference in other project (not in your web application project)

just copy the web service reference's configuration from other project to your web application's web.config file It should work.

the problem is happen because your IIS severe is looking for web service configuration in your web.config file of your web application

hi,

I tried that one also(Adding Service Reference to my aplication).It shows error like below,

There was no endpoint listening at http://localhost:3331/Service1.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.

Check event logs, troubleshoot on what mistake you have done or not configured correctly such that you are unable to use the hosted version.

Try
ASP.NET Web Service[^]
Your first C# Web Service[^]
http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/ws_example.asp[^]
http://oreilly.com/catalog/prognetws/chapter/ch02.html[^]

You also might want to consider WCF now.
