Question

I am still learning the whole WCF thing, so please bear with me here.

What I have is two self hosted services created using C# and VS 2008:
Service # 1 Adds two numbers and returns the result.
Service # 2 Returns the square of a number.

I want the client to be able to send in two numbers to Service 1, get the sum and then send the sum in to Service 2 and get the square.

I have two generated proxies for both the services, and I am able to use Intellisense on them, so that part supposedly works.

Now how do i configure my app.config file such that I can communicate with both the services? Right now, i get an exception every time I try to do that.

[The client works fine if I only have one of the configurations in the app file at a time, and try to call only that server.]

I suppose this is a very noobish question, and the answer probably is ‘structure the config file in _____ manner’, but Google simply does not seem to have an example/guide.

Anyone know how to do this?

Note: Consume multiple WCF services from one client client Though sounds like a duplicate is NOT what I am looking for.

Edit: Thanks to marc_s, I got it working

With both the services running in different apps, I did not need to split the server config file, but here is what I did with the client config files: First auto-generated the config files using SvrUtil.exe and then merged them in this way:

<bindings>   <wsHttpBinding>      <binding>     ...     </binding>      <binding>     ...     </binding>    </wsHttpBinding> </bindings> 

…

  <endpoint> 

…

Answer 1

If you want to run the two services on separate endpoints / ports, do something like this:

Server-side:

<service name='Service1'>     <endpoint address='http://localhost:8001/service1.asmx'             binding='basicHttpBinding'             contract='IService1' /> </service> <service name='Service2'>     <endpoint address='http://localhost:8002/service2.asmx'              binding='basicHttpBinding'             contract='IService2' /> </service> 

Client-side:

<client>     <endpoint address='http://localhost:8001/service1.asmx'             binding='basicHttpBinding'             contract='IService1'             name='Service1' />     <endpoint address='http://localhost:8002/service2.asmx'              binding='basicHttpBinding'             contract='IService2'             name='Service2' /> </client> 

That should give you two separate, individual endpoints on the server and a client that will talk to both.
