I am currently making a WCF service and while I was developing the service acted like it should (Using Visual Studio Web Expres). I have a silverlight application who is consuming the service.
I wrote the WCF service in a class Library and is implemented by a ASP.NET Web Application. While I was using the Visual Studio ASP.NET Development Server the service was happy and gave me everything I asked for.
Now I implemented the service on an IIS 7 Server. And the service doesnt return what I ask for anymore. Instead in Chrome I get the following message:
But If I surf to the service url then the service say's it is ready to rock and roll:
As you can see in the Error I get from Chrome is that the text the service returns is the Source code from that "surf to" page.
My Web.config service model:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="basicHttpBinding_OnlineCreatorServiceContract" closeTimeout="00:01:00"
openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"

And my ServiceReferences.ClientConfig:

binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="basicHttpBinding"
contract="OnlineCreatorService.IOrderDataService" name="basicHttpBinding" />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
Because my service is on a subdomain I have used to following ClientAccessPolicy.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<access-policy>
<cross-domain-access>
<policy>
<allow-from http-request-headers="*">
<domain uri="*"/>
</allow-from>
<grant-to>
<resource path="/" include-subpaths="true"/>
</grant-to>
</policy>
</cross-domain-access>
</access-policy>
As you can see this can't be the problem, but for completeness sake I have putted it here.
This is my first WCF service and it worked perfectly till I putted it on the IIS server. Does anyone has a clue why I get this error and how to fix it?
After I have dug deeper in WCF and IIS I found out that you need to activate WCF on the server. And that is quite the process. To do it right I cleared my current site on IIS to have a fresh start and then followed to following pages to get the WCF to work:
http://blah.winsmarts.com/2008-4-Host_a_WCF_Service_in_IIS_7_-and-amp;_Windows_2008_-_The_right_way.aspx

http://edinkapic.blogspot.com/2009/02/talking-to-wcf-service-from-silverlight.html
I made a very simpel HelloWorld service to test everything and as soon as it all worked I ported it to my service. That first gave me an exception. But that was soon fixed because the connection strings weren't set right.

Been trying to solve this for a day. I cant seen to find any error with my code, please help. Thank you!
I'm using IIS to host the Service and used add service reference for the client.
I have made sure that I added readerquota and correct binding configuration. Still, the error occur when i'm sending image file with size over 16384kb.

I have figured out the issue, after I updated my server and client to the right values and right binding. My client is still sending default configuration. Also, the configuration.svcinfo file is still in default value and not updated. Any ideas?
Do you change quotas config both server and client side.
First are you sure that you have set your HttpRuntime to be more than 4MB. You can do it as shown below:
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="1572864"/>
The above element is under system.web element. The .NET framework's http runtime doesnt allow data more than 4MB by default.
Your reader quotas on the server and client are a bit different. Make sure that you have the client reader quotas same as that of the server.
Once you have the above and you still have problems then try enabling Tracing on your service and it should tell you the exact reason why your request is failing. To enable tracing follow the article here
The client should also get a behaviorConfiguration that sets the maxItemsInObjectGraph
<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="ServiceBehavior">
<dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483647"/>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
Then.. reference this new behavior on your client endpoint...
<endpoint address="http://youraddresshere"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IService"
contract="" name="" behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior" />
You could also try increasing your maxBytesPerRead="" value in your client and service settings.
When I add in behaviorConfiguration I get the following from wcftester
The remote server returned an error: (415) Unsupported Media Type.HTTP GET Error

The remote server returned an error: (415) Unsupported Media Type.HTTP
GET Error URI: http://localhost:2622/MyRemoteHostService.svc The
HTML document does not contain Web service discovery information.
I got a 415 error message took me more than a day to find the cause, turns out that our web.config on the server is different to dev, it specifies a different binding which means the binding is different between the client (SL) and the wcf service on the server which seems to cause a 415 message (kinda makes sense). Your bindings above look correct, could be worth re-checking. Have you tried updating the service reference after adding the behaviorConfiguration, sometimes it works. Unfortunately HTTP error codes can be very misleading at times...
I have a silverlight 4 application and I need the client to consume a WCF service secured with SSL and using windows authentication. Only members of a certain active directory group should be able to call the WCF service.
Here is my web.config. With the current configuration anyone can call the WCF service. what should be the correct values?
Thanks,
Kruvi

The following article shows how to secure a WCF service with Windows auth for Silverlight clients:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744835(v=vs.95).aspx
This article talks about using the PrincipalPermissionAttribute, which will allow you to restrict with groups can call a particular service operation:

I have a Silverlight 4 application that uses WCF services on the same server (self-hosted). Everything works fine, but now I want to convert my WCF services to use SSL. I am using CustomBindings and can't quite find the combination to get this done. I am using relative URLs on the client side, and hope this is not causing a problem. Here are the important bits of my Web.config file:
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
<dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="6553600"/>
<serviceTimeouts transactionTimeout="00:10:00"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<bindings>
<customBinding>
<binding name="MyApp.Web.Services.ProjectService.customBinding0"
receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:10:00">
<binaryMessageEncoding />
<httpsTransport maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" />
</binding>
</customBinding>
</bindings>
<services>
<service name="MyApp.Web.Services.ProjectService">
<endpoint address="" binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="MyApp.Web.Services.ProjectService.customBinding0"
contract="MyApp.Web.Services.ProjectService" />
</service>
My ClientConfig looks like this:
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<customBinding>
<binding name="CustomBinding_ProjectService">
<binaryMessageEncoding />
<httpTransport maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" />
</binding>
</customBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="../Services/ProjectService.svc" binding="customBinding"
bindingConfiguration="CustomBinding_ProjectService" contract="SearchProxy.ProjectService"
name="CustomBinding_ProjectService" />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
I just don't understand how the bindings work in both the server and client. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
A few things:
If you want to use SSL on localhost you'll need to be using IIS Express 7.5 (or full IIS if you're on a server doing dev - unlikely).
You'll need a clientaccesspolicy.xml file stored in the root of the Web application:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<access-policy>
<cross-domain-access>
<policy>
<allow-from http-request-headers= "SOAPAction">
<domain uri="https://*"/>
</allow-from>
<grant-to>
<resource path="/" include-subpaths="true"/>
</grant-to>
</policy>
</cross-domain-access>
</access-policy>
Example server-side Web.config:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="SecureBasicHttpBinding">
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="Certificate" />
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="SomeBehavior" >
<serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>
<useRequestHeadersForMetadataAddress>
<defaultPorts>
<add scheme="https" port="443" />
</defaultPorts>
</useRequestHeadersForMetadataAddress>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment>
<serviceActivations>
<add relativeAddress="SomeService.svc" service="MySilverlight.Web.SomeService"/>
</serviceActivations>
</serviceHostingEnvironment>
<services>
<service name="MySilverlight.Web.SomeService"
behaviorConfiguration="SomeBehavior">
<endpoint address="SomeService"
binding="basicHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="SecureBasicHttpBinding"
bindingNamespace="https://MySilverlight.Web.SomeService"
contract="MySilverlight.Web.ISomeService">
</endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex"
binding="mexHttpsBinding"
contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
</services>
</system.serviceModel>
Example client-side:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_ISomeService" maxBufferSize="2147483647"
maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647">
<security mode="Transport" />
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="https://localhost/SomeService.svc/SomeService"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_ISomeService"
contract="MySilverlight.Web.SomeServiceReference.ISomeService"
name="BasicHttpBinding_ISomeService" />
</client>
<extensions />
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
IIS 7.5 will setup your localhost certificate automatically.
Can you update the service reference on the client project? That should update the clientconfig file with the correct binding. One thing I am noticing right now is that you're using <httpTransport> on the client binding and <httpsTransport> on the service. Try changing the client to use <httpsTransport> as well.
Also, if your SL app is downloaded from an HTTP:// address, then a call to a service in HTTPS is considered to be a cross-domain call, so you'll need a cross-domain policy file as well.
I am trying to add a WCF endpoint behavior to my Silverlight client. However I am getting the following error at runtime:
Unrecognized element 'behaviors' in service reference configuration.
Note that only a subset of the Windows Communication Foundation
configuration functionality is available in Silverlight.
Is it really true that WCF endpoints cannot be extended in Silverlight? My ServiceReferences.ClientConfig file is listed below showing how I am trying to add an extention called MyBehaviorExtention:
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<extensions>
<behaviorExtentions>
<add
name="MyBehaviorExtention"
type="MyTest,
MyBehaviorExtention,
Version=1.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral,

</behaviorExtentions>
</extensions>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="MyBehavior">
<MyBehaviorExtention />
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding
name="MyWebServicePortBinding"
maxBufferSize="2147483647"
maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647">

</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint

binding="basicHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="MyWebServicePortBinding"
contract="MyServiceReference.MyWebService"
behaviorConfiguration="MyBehavior" />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
Should this not go in your server side web.config instead? The ServiceReferences.ClientConfig should contain information pertaining to WebService Reference information e.g. endpoint address etc. It contains the addresses of the services and it gets compiled inside the .xap file generated by compilation.
Here is a sample of my web.config where I use behaviour extensions:
<extensions>
<behaviorExtensions>
<add name="silverlightFaults" type="MyApp.Web.Services.SilverlightFaultBehavior, MyApp.Web"/>
</behaviorExtensions>
</extensions>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="SilverlightFaultBehavior">
<silverlightFaults />
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
This is all I need. My ServiceRefeferences.ClientConfig only contains endpoint addresses. It only contains a subset of Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) client configuration.
