Question

I’m getting the following error when I try multiple end points..

Here’s my App.Config contents

  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true" />
  </system.web>

            <add baseAddress="net.tcp://localhost:8731/Design_Time_Addresses/WcfServiceLibrary1/Service" />

          </baseAddresses>

        </host>
      </service>
    </services>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="WcfServiceLibrary1.Service1Behavior">
          <!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information,

          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="True"/>
          <!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes,

        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
  </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

Would be great if someone could guide me where I’m wrong.

Net TCP port sharing service is enabled both in App.Config and Windows Service.That’s as far as I could possibly check.

Answer 1

It could be that you’re using the same port for the HTTP and TCP bindings. Try changing the port on the TCP binding to 8732 or anything other than 8731.
