Add this to your config

HTML

<behaviors>
   <servicebehaviors>
      <behavior name="metadataBehavior">
         <servicemetadata httpgetenabled="true" />
      </behavior>
   </servicebehaviors>
</behaviors>
<services>
   <service name="MyService.MyService" behaviorconfiguration="metadataBehavior">
      <endpoint>
          address=""   <!-- don't put anything here - Cassini will determine address -->
          binding="basicHttpBinding" 
          contract="MyService.IMyService"/>
      <endpoint>
          address="mex" 
          binding="mexHttpBinding" 
          contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
   </endpoint></endpoint></service>
