endpoint.tv Screencast - Hosting WCF Services in IIS

Welcome to the latest video in the weekly WF/WCF Screencast series.

In this short video, CSD MVP Aaron Skonnard from PluralSight guides the viewer through how to host your WCF Service in IIS. We will start with the simple WCF service that we created in the first screencast, hosting it as an ASP.NET svc file. Aaron then demonstrates adding a couple endpoints (for greater detail, see the screencast on creating WCF endpoints) and accessing the service. Once we have our WCF service hosted in ASP.NET, we add it as an application to IIS for consumption.

For additional information on WCF, please check out the WCF Dev Center on MSDN and the .NET Endpoint team blog. For more information on classes offered by Aaron and the PluralSight folks, check out their catalog of instructor led courses and new online courses that cover a variety of Microsoft technologies, ranging from .NET v3.5 to WSS to BizTalk server.

Actually it's been going good.  I've learnt more things as a beginner. Thanks.

At the point when I run the wcftestclient utility I get the following error:

 

"Failed to invoke the service. Possible causes: The service is offline or inaccessible; the client-side configuration does not match the proxy; the existing proxy is invalid. Refer to the stack trace for more detail. You can try to recover by starting a new proxy, restoring to default configuration, or refreshing the service."

 

I did everything EXACTLY the same up to this point? What could be happening???
