Hi Im new to wcf..
In my interface(IService1.cs) file I declare a method

C#

[OperationContract]
        int AddToPersonalData(string[] array);

In my Service.svc.cs file I implement the method like this

C#

public int AddToPersonalData(string[] array)
       {
           int counter = 0;
           foreach (string value in array)
           {
               PersonalDetailsData.PersonalData[PersonalDetailsData.counter, counter++] = value;
           }
           PersonalDetailsData.counter++;
           return PersonalDetailsData.counter;
       }

But when I access the method in my client project method signature is different.I did the same thing in visual studio 2008 and it worked fine.But problems occurs with visual studio 2010.

Did you update the servie reference on the clientside? (Project tree: Right click on the service in service references, "Update...")
Where does PersonalDetailsData come from? To debug, comment all out and only return only array.Count(). Just to be sure, that the problem doe not come from PersonalDetailsData. In WCF erormessages are sometimes a bit weird...

In client project, app.config should be written with proper signature as:

XML

<client>			
			<!--My Service-->
			<endpoint address="http://address/MyService/MyService.svc">
				binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IMyService"
				contract="IMyService" />
</endpoint></client>

I created a wcf service application So there is a web.config instead of app.config.
I did this in visual studio 2008 and it worked perfectly because web.config file auto updated. But in visual studio 2010 it don't.
Can you please explain why is that??
