Don't you need that wsHttpBinding ?

Member 11143223 7-Nov-14 23:25pm

I modified the code by uncommenting wsHttpBinding still its not working. when I add the servicereference its giving the following error.

There was an error downloading 'http://localhost:8181/HelloService'.
Unable to connect to the remote server
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8181
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'http://localhost:8181/HelloService'.
There was no endpoint listening at http://localhost:8181/HelloService that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
Unable to connect to the remote server

If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.

you are not exploring meta data that is why you are not able to browse your WCF Service

Member 11143223 7-Nov-14 23:27pm

I changed that code still I am not able to get..

<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange">

                  contract="IMetadataExchange" /></endpoint>
