A problem at host a wcf service

Question

Hi,

I have developed (in VS2010 - on a machine with Windows 7) a small solution which contains a WCF Service library and a Windows Service for hosting that WCF service. The App.config which is in my WCF service is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <system.web> <compilation debug="true" /> </system.web> <system.serviceModel> <behaviors> <serviceBehaviors> <behavior name="myWcfServiceBehavior"> <dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483647" /> <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false" /> <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" /> <serviceThrottling maxConcurrentCalls="2600" maxConcurrentSessions="2000" maxConcurrentInstances="3600" /> </behavior> </serviceBehaviors> </behaviors> <bindings> <netTcpBinding> <binding name="mySecureNetTcpBinding" closeTimeout="00:01:00" openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:01:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00" transferMode="Buffered" maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647"> <readerQuotas maxDepth="2147483647" maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" /> <security mode="None" /> </binding> </netTcpBinding> </bindings> <services> <service name="WcfServiceLibrary1.Service1" behaviorConfiguration="myWcfServiceBehavior"> <host> <baseAddresses> <add baseAddress="net.tcp://localhost:8001/Service1" /> </baseAddresses> </host> <endpoint name="WcfServiceLibrary1.Service1" address="" binding="netTcpBinding" bindingConfiguration="mySecureNetTcpBinding" contract="WcfServiceLibrary1.IService1"> </endpoint> <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexTcpBinding" bindingConfiguration="" contract="IMetadataExchange" /> </service> </services> </system.serviceModel> <system.diagnostics> <sources> <source name="System.ServiceModel" switchValue="Error, Critical" propagateActivity="true"> <listeners> <add name="traceListener" type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener" initializeData="c:\log\WCF_Errors.svclog" /> </listeners> </source> </sources> </system.diagnostics> </configuration>

This file is also in my windows service with the same configurations.

My service code is something very simple:

File IService1.cs: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Runtime.Serialization; using System.ServiceModel; using System.Text; namespace WcfServiceLibrary1 { // NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the interface name "IService1" in both code and config file together. [ServiceContract] public interface IService1 { [OperationContract] string GetData(int value); } }

and file Service1.cs:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq; using System.Runtime.Serialization;

using System.ServiceModel; using System.Text;

namespace WcfServiceLibrary1 { // NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the class name "Service1" in both code and config file together. public class Service1 : IService1 { public string GetData(int value) { return string.Format("You entered: {0}", value); } } }

I have hosted this wcf service in my windows service in this way:
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Diagnostics; using System.Linq; using System.ServiceProcess; using System.Text; using System.ServiceModel; using WcfServiceLibrary1; using System.IO; namespace WindowsService1 { public partial class Service1 : ServiceBase { internal static ServiceHost myServiceHost = null; public Service1() { InitializeComponent(); } protected override void OnStart(string[] args) { StreamWriter sw; try { if (myServiceHost != null) myServiceHost.Close(); myServiceHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(Service1)); myServiceHost.Open(); } catch (Exception exc) { sw = new StreamWriter(@"C:\Log\Err.Txt"); sw.Write(exc.Message); sw.Close(); } } protected override void OnStop() { StreamWriter sw; try { if (myServiceHost != null) { myServiceHost.Close(); myServiceHost = null; } } catch (Exception exc) { sw = new StreamWriter(@"C:\Log\Err.Txt"); sw.Write(exc.Message); sw.Close(); } } } }

I have added an Installer where I configured properties: Account: NetworkService for serviceProcessInstaller

and StartType: Automatic for serviceInstaller.

I built the project, after that I install the windows service with InstallUtil. After that I looked in my log file if something is wrong. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything. Atfer that I enter in Computer Management (I have Windows 7 and VS2010) and I started my Windows Service. After that I looked again in my log file and in Logs  from Event Viewer (from Application), but again I didn't find anything.

Unfortunately, when I want to consume (to register) that address, I can't do this thing. I tried with Add Service refference and after that with SvcUtil but the result is the same.

When I want to add service address  net.tcp://localhost:8001/Service1 with Add Service Refference it appears on the screen An error (Detail) occured while attempting to find services at 'net.tcp://localhost:8001/Service1'.

I checked the metadata addressed, but it seems that it's OK. Maybe I'm wrong of course.

I run netstats -ap tcp and I didn't see my TCP protocol: 8001.

Please help me and tell me what it's wrong.

Sincerely Yours,
