  • 0

I had a working WCF published to IIS on my server. Recently I created another, self-hosting WCF (windows service) and added a reference to it from my WCF on IIS. Like this:

ASP –> WCF (in IIS) –> WCF (as win service)

Now, I can’t seem to add a reference to my first WCF in my ASP app. So I’ve got this:

ASP XXX WCF (in IIS) –> WCF (as win service)

Here’s the service model from the WCF in IIS. I’m publishing to http://localhost/LetterWriterASP/

I’m VERY new to this stuff, so any information is sincerely appreciated!

    Nevermind… I forgot the endpoint address should be blank

    <endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="WcfService2.ILetterWriter">
    

    Instead of:

    <endpoint address="http://localhost/LetterWriterASP/" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="WcfService2.ILetterWriter">
    

    Sorry!
