Question

In the process of developing my first WCF service and when I try to use it I get ‘Method not Allowed’ with no other explanation.

I’ve got my interface set up with the ServiceContract and OperationContract:

    [OperationContract]     void FileUpload(UploadedFile file); 

Along with the actual method:

    public void FileUpload(UploadedFile file) {}; 

To access the Service I enter http://localhost/project/myService.svc/FileUpload but I get the ‘Method not Allowed’ error

Am I missing something?

Your browser is sending an HTTP GET request: Make sure you have the WebGet attribute on the operation in the contract:

[ServiceContract] public interface IUploadService {     [WebGet()]     [OperationContract]     string TestGetMethod(); // This method takes no arguments, returns a string. Perfect for testing quickly with a browser.      [OperationContract]     void UploadFile(UploadedFile file); // This probably involves an HTTP POST request. Not so easy for a quick browser test.  }
