Consuming WCF Service in Class Library
Hello All
I have written a WCF service and hosted it on IIS 7.
I am trying to consume it through a c# class library project.
I tried both SVCUtil.exe and 'Add Service Reference' option in VS 2010. But I cannot seem to access the operation in the service.
I get an 'Object Reference' error.
i know for sure the Service works fine because I ran it in Debug Mode in visual studio, and used the test client.
I read in a blog that class library projects cannot read a config file.
So I use a custom channel factory class to read the .config file for the endpoint and binding.
Its through this channel that i try to access the service operation, and thats where I get the error.
Not getting why..
Please help!
Thanks in advance.

That is how i would do it with any application. But in this case, the class library I am developing is an Event Handler to be registered on the Project Server 2010, specifically Project Web Access (PWA). I am new to PWA and Sharepoint customization. Would you know where the config file would be in this case?
