query regarding wcf

Hi

I have created one wcf service. Then I added the wcf project as reference in a web based application. Even I can use the functions defined in the service. But If I check the configuration file of the service I can see that there is no address defined.

How I can use the service if there is no address defined in the endpoint in the configuration file.

If you are using WCF 4, then defualt End Point is associated with the service, if we don’t configure any WCF endpoint.

Look at this detail article http://beyondrelational.com/blogs/dhananjaykumar/archive/2011/01/28/default-endpointsin-wcf-4-0.aspx

But I am using WCF with visual studio 2005 express version

Then you may be set your endpoint programatically. Like

string baseAddress = "http://localhost:8080/wcfselfhost/";
ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(MyService), new Uri(baseAddress));

// Create a BasicHttpBinding instance
BasicHttpBinding binding = new BasicHttpBinding();

// Add a service endpoint using the created binding
host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IEcho), binding, "echo1");

host.Open();

And I guess, you are adding the reference using http://localhost/TestService in your TestWCFApp

Hi sonawanekiran

I am adding as a reference in TestWcfApp in the same manner we normally add dll.

Kiran Sonawane

Correct. The URL you are using to add service reference in your TestWCFAPP is defined in web.config of you WCF service project (which is TestService)
