my wcf contains generic list and its having 3 functions and 3 return types 1-generic list,2-dataset,3-bool type

without any binding by default its working properly.. but when am trying to add wsHttpBinding its showing error message like this...

"Failed to add a service. Service metadata may not be accessible. Make sure your service is running and exposing metadata."

my requirement is i wana use secure binding for this data(return data like generic list,dataset,bool) in transport level and message level..

Post your web.config code here by clicking on "Improve question" link.

Try adding the baseAddress; for instance,
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseaddress="http://localhost:8733/Design_Time_Addresses/WcfService1/Service1/">
</baseAddresses>
</add>
</host>

1 solution

You need to provide the endpoint address inside the service tag.
You can provide the absolute or relative Url.

But providing a relative Url is the best method, because when you host that in IIS, the absolute Url may change, but the relative will be the same and you don't need to change that again.

So, if the web.config and the service .svc file are at the same directory, then directly add the filename in the address like below.
XML
<endpoint address="ServiceFile.svc" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="WcfService1.IService1">
</endpoint>

So, you need to provide the correct relative address according of the Service file.

Let me know it works or not.

[Update]

1. Include Service Behaviour
You have added Service like below in web.config.
XML
<service name="samplewcf.Service1"
        behaviorConfiguration="samplewcf.Service1Behavior">

But you have to forgot to include this behavior inside serviceBehaviors tags.
That is like below (Just add this name to the existing behavior)...
XML
<serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="samplewcf.Service1Behavior">
          <!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false and remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment -->
          <serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="True" httpGetEnabled="true"/>
          <!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true.  Set to false before deployment to avoid disclosing exception information -->
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
        </behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>


2. Typo mistake in endpoint binding
XML
<service name="samplewcf.Service1"
        behaviorConfiguration="samplewcf.Service1Behavior">
 
        <!-- Service Endpoints -->
        <endpoint address="ServiceFile.svc" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="samplewcf.IService1">
        </endpoint>
        <endpoint address="Service1.svc" binding="wsHttpBinding"   contract="samplewcf.IService1"/>
 
        <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttspBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
</service>

This should be mexHttpBinding removing extra "s".
And keep only the required endpoint.

So, that will finally look like below.
XML
<service name="samplewcf.Service1"
        behaviorConfiguration="samplewcf.Service1Behavior">
 
        <!-- Service Endpoints -->
        </endpoint>
        <endpoint address="Service1.svc" binding="wsHttpBinding"   contract="samplewcf.IService1"/> 

        <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
</service>


Please correct your code as suggested, it should work fine. It is working fine at my end.
Let me know if you face issues again.


Note - I just resolved this issue, I have not checked the functionality of the Service functions. You need to check and test.

Thanks...
