I have a service. The service is working fine when I tested using wcfTestClient. When I am calling from console app client it is throwing following error:
Could not find default endpoint element that references contract ‘ICalculationService’ in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the client element.
Service Trace:
Description: Failed to lookup a channel to receive an incoming message. Either the endpoint or the SOAP action was not found.
Source:System.ServiceModel.Activation.HostedHttpTransportManager/28072850
What all could be the possible issues?
Reference: There was no channel that could accept the message with action

XSD File:
The required XSD can be found in One WCF service – two clients; One client does not work
Let me admit that it was a blunder from my side. I was keeping the client configurations in output.config file (generated by the WCSF Blue tool). When I copied it to the app.config it worked fine.
