Question

I’ve created a test WP7 app, which consumes a WCF to get some sample data
I added the service as a service reference, and the classes where generated. In the app, I call the service :

var service = new TestService.TestServiceClient();
                service.GetDataCompleted += new EventHandler<TestService.GetDataCompletedEventArgs>(service_GetDataCompleted);
                service.GetDataAsync(new TestService.GetDataRequest());

in the callback from the service call, i get the following exception :

There was no endpoint listening at
http://localhost:8219/TestService.svc
that could accept the message. This is
often caused by an incorrect address
or SOAP action. See InnerException, if
present, for more details.

The inner exception says :

The remote server returned an error:
NotFound.

When debugging, the cassini dev server starts up. I can access the svc from internet explorer with no problem, see the wsdl, etc

Any ideas??

Well, this is one of the times when you lose a lot of time, because the error message points you to nowhere near the solution.

To fix this problem, it was a combination of this and regenerating the service reference. I know it’s not a good answer, but that’s what was actually happening
