I have created a reference to an IIS hosted WCF service in my ASP.NET

  • 0

I have created a reference to an IIS hosted WCF service in my ASP.NET website project on my local workstation through the ‘Add Service Reference’ option in Visual Studio 2008. I was able to execute the service from my local workstation.

When I move the ASP.NET web site using the ‘Copy Web Site’ feature in Visual Studio 2008 to the development server and browse to the page consuming the service, I get the following error:

Reference.svcmap: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.

Has anyone experienced this same error and know how to resolve it?

EDIT: My development server is Win2k3 with IIS 6

  1. @Sixto Saez: I was able to use the following resource similar to the one you provided to generate a proxy class using the ServiceModel Metadata Utility Tool (svcutil.exe).

    Here is the exact command line:

    svcutil /t:code http://<service_url> /out:<file_name>.cs /config:<file_name>.config

    Here is the reference I found that suggested using the method.

    Also, I was able to consume the service by creating a reference using the Visual Studio 2008 ‘Add Web Reference’ command. It generates code based on .NET Framework 2.0 Web Services technology.
