Interface is IBookService
Class which implements interface is BookService
Namespace which contains class as well Interface WCFCodeProjectSampleService

Please help me to solve this issue.I have tried so many ways but i am not able to solve it.

Below is App.config file which currently i am using:

      </wsHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <services>
      <service behaviorConfiguration="WCFCodeProjectSampleService.ServiceBehaviour" name="WCFCodeProjectSampleService.BookService">
        <endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="NewBinding0"
          contract="WCFCodeProjectSampleService.IBookService">

Your service should be run,then, you can set the endpoint address as your webservice address in the target application.
Additionally, When there are multi endpoints which are associated with a WCF service, you can define a primary address and then address those endpoints through a relative address. The primary address is called Base Address. You can define the base addresses as below:

XML

<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseaddress="http://localhost:8080/QuickReturns" />
<add baseaddress="net.pipe://localhost/QuickReturns" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>

And the relative addresses for endpoint would be like this:

XML

<endpoint>
name="BasicHttpBinding"
address="Exchange"
bindingsSectionName="BasicHttpBinding"
contract="IExchange" />
<endpoint>
name="NetNamedPipeBinding"
address="Exchange"
bindingsSectionName="NetNamedPipeBinding"
contract="IExchange" />
</endpoint></endpoint>

You current address is empty and this is why it is not available when you call it.
