Question

I have a WCF Web Service which is referenced from a class library. After the project is run, when creating the service client object from inside a class library, I receive an InvalidOperationException with message:

Could not find default endpoint element that references contract ‘MyServiceReference.IMyService’ 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.

The code I am using to create the instance is:

myServiceClient = new MyServiceClient(); 

where MyServiceClient inherits from

System.ServiceModel.ClientBase

How do I solve this?

Note: I have a seperate console application which simply creates the same service object and makes calls to it and it works without no problems.

Here is my app.config file of the class library:

You should put this configuration settings to main app’s config file. .NET application (which is calling your class library) uses data from it’s own config file not from your library config file.
