Before you add any service reference you have to make sure that service is running if you have self hosted that service. So I'll suggest run the service and then add service reference. Let me know if you still face issues.

Thanks,

basically i want to run the service by a .exe file.not from visual studio .because the wcf service program does not have the exe file in its debug folder so thats why i want to add the reference in the other program and start the service programatically ..not by pressing the start button of visual studio for running program

So while creating that .exe you can add reference. and when you will invoke exe it will call the service (which is referenced in exe)
