Question

I’m working on a very simple WCF service.
At the beginning everything was fine, then I moved the service interface in a separated DLL file.
Since that I got this error:

The contract name x.y.IService could
not be found in the list of contracts
implemented by the service
z.t.MyService

My config file looks like this:

   <endpointBehaviors>
      <behavior name="webHttpBehavior">
         <enableWebScript />
      </behavior>
   </endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<services>
   <service name="z.t.MyService">
      <endpoint address=""  
                binding="webHttpBinding" 
                behaviorConfiguration="webHttpBehavior"
                contract="x.y.IService" />
   </service>
</services>...

and my service looks like this:

using x.y;

namespace z.y
{
    public class MyService : IService
    {

    }
}

Everything else but the service works fine with that namespace.
Where am I wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Everything looks fine assuming the z.t.MyService is a typo. This is exactly what we do and everything works for our service.

Edit based on comments:
Yes, the interface can be a generic, however you will need to define the type before using it in the service.

You can do the following

public interface IActualService : IService<MyService>

Then you just use IAcutalService as the interface for your service.
