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???

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

I get this message when I try to invoke the service using wcftestclient. It works well with Visual Studio development server.

I have set up my wcf service exactly as shown in the video. I am on xp and using IIS 5.1.

There was no endpoint listening at http://<Fully Qualified Machine Name>/evalSite/Eval.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.

Please suggest.

Thanks a ton!

Thanks RR. I was getting a 403 error and didn't know why. Mapping .svc to IIS did the trick.

If this is your first application in IIS then you may need to map .svc to IIS

One last item - I also came across a Channel 9 screencast on consuming WCF services in a WPF client. It's for VS2005, so some things have changed since then, but it may help give you a visual walkthrough on how someone would wire up a client to the service.

Hi Yaasir,

I'll preface this with saying that I'm not a WCF technical guru by any stretch of the imagination. :) So the statements below are made from my prior [somewhat limited] experience with this particular technology. That being said...

The screencast here uses the WCF Client Test tool because it's focus is primarily on the creation and hosting of the service, not on the client consumption of the service (a full-trip tutorial would probably go about an hour or so - we're trying to keep these a bit more digestable). What I believe you would want to do is to take this screencast's walkthrough of service hosting in IIS, and create the client to consume those services; while this doesn't help you right now, we will be posting a screencast 'Creating your First WCF Client' in about three weeks, after the first four WF screencasts complete.

To answer, your question, though, I believe what you're really looking for is the "How to: Create a Basic Web-Style Service" tutorial, which covers hosting of WCF in IIS (also covered here), but also covers how to create the ASP.NET web client to interact with that service. For the second part (consuming the service from a desktop application), you can refer to the 'WCF Client Overview' section of the documentation (there's also a general "How to: Create a WCF Client" tutorial, but I - personally - got lost in all the source code when I had tried using it).

I think that those tutorials hit on your questions, and may help frame the general 'how do I create consumers of that web service' question...if you want to move beyond the documentation, there are a variety of code samples and online hands-on labs that my help you out as well - the WCF overview labs up there are pretty old (they work from the 3.0 tooling), and we're building new HOLs now, and hoping to have new ones up within the next couple months.

As one last point, if you're new to WCF - these screencasts are great for explaining HOW to do something, but I would highly checking out Ron Jacob's Endpoint.tv screencast covering "You're First WCF Service" on the WHY you do these things.

Does this help?
Cliff

Fine. now i have learnt to create and using services from previous and this tutorial...

But In this tutorial also you have taught to add values and get values by using WebClientTest tool...

I would like to know how to do such operations in programmatic way like;

--------
I want my website to add some strings to COMMENTS and SUBMITTER when I click a button on my web page

After that I want to receive those data into my c# desktop application by the get() method in the service running under IIS

I know I should create a Channel for this, but I'm new to WCF and my mind is totally blank about this....

So is there any guy whos willing to help me? I have googled alot for such a tut, but i was unable to find...So please help me

Thanks for a great back to basics webcast, i have just doing my first WCF project and this covered most of the things I had to find on the web, thanks again, keep up the great work.
