Question

I’m having difficulties with accessing a WCF service. My service is
running in the same solution as the MonoDroid App and is hosted by visual
studio. I configured it as BasicHttp. The reference adds ok but at runtime
when I call the one simple test method, I get ;

System.Net.WebException
it’s very simple this is web service

public class Service1 : System.Web.Services.WebService
{

    [WebMethod]
    public string HelloWorld()
    {
        return "Hello World";
    }
}

and here is call

        button.Click += delegate
        { 
       localhost.Service1 se = new localhost.Service1();
        button.Text= se.HelloWorld();
        };

and error snapshot in attachment

I agree that you need to add more information. However, I responded to this question sometime ago and this is what I am doing for the WCF stuff and it’s working great for me.

Using Soap in Shared Mono Library for WP 7 and Android

This might help out.

One other thing that I just thought of. Do you have the internet option in the network manifest selected as shown here:
