[RESOLVED] Testing the WCF Client in the Web App.

[Bill Crawley]

Thought I'd start a new thread as the existing one clouds this. I've decided to take a step back. I have my WCF Service library running in the IDE in the WCF Test Client. In my Web App. I have made a service reference to my running process.

The problem I have is trying to expose the method that I want to call.

The WCF program has a class called IRSService.cs :

   public class IRSService : IRS
    {
       public void ProcessBorderaux()
        {.....

and a second class called IIRSService.cs

   [ServiceContract]
    public interface IRS
    {
        [OperationContract(IsInitiating=true)]
        void ProcessBorderaux();......

in the WCF Test Client I can see my IRS Interface with the ProcessBorderaux() method attached.

Back in my client code I have made a Reference to my service:

using Borderaux.wcfBorderauxIRSService;
then Down in my code

I would expect to  do:

wcfBorderauxIRSService.IRS WCF = wcfBorderauxIRSService.IRSService(); 
            WCF.ProcessBorderaux();
However, the IRSService is not being exposed at the above point How do I get a reference correctly so that I can run my method.

I figured If I can get this far then I should be able to introduce the windows service

Ok, the way to expose the methods on the WCF interface is:

            using (wcfBorderauxIRSService.RSClient WCF = new RSClient())
            {
                WCF.ProcessBorderaux();
            }

So I went back to basics and with my WCF Project running in the WCF test CLient via VS2010, with it running I can make a reference to this via my client app and successfully run the WCF service. If I stop the WCF Project, build this in the windows service project and deploy. As mentioned I can see the windows service running, but cannot make a reference to it from the client.
