WCF / ASMX :: Service Reference In VS2008 / Error Downloading 'http://localhost:8000/Tasks'
Mar 3, 2011
I have developed the WCF service as follows.
1) Service Contracts in a project
2) Data Contracts in a project
3) Finally adding the reference of service contract project in a Hosting project (Console Application) with complete configurations.
I am adding one more windows app project as a client.When i am trying to add the service reference using the address "http://localhost:8000/Tasks", VS 2008 displays the below error.
There was an error downloading 'http://localhost:8000/Tasks'.
Unable to connect to the remote server
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8000
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'http://localhost:8000/Tasks'.
Could not connect to http://localhost:8000/Tasks. TCP error code 10061: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8000.
Unable to connect to the remote server
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8000
If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.
when i am adding service reference the Following erro shows Up..where as the same works on the Other machine. The url when tested in Internet explorer works but only while adding shows the error. The request failed with HTTP status 403: Forbidden. The HTTP request was forbidden with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous'.
we have a situation where we need to host two certificates on the same server and because we can't have two different certificates on the same server running off the same port we have assigned one certificate run through another port, which is 4443.
So the URL to our web app is now....
[URL]
If I punch this into a web browser I can access it fine, however, if I create a web reference using this URL in Visual Studio (2005) it can create the web reference fine and it builds ok. But whenever I call a web method on this service instance I get a HTTP 404 page not found Exception.
Is there any properties I need to set on the web service object to get this to work? I'm confused as to why it's not working.
when svc.getLookupList(reqobj) will call i get following error.
"There was no endpoint listening at http://rets.newjerseymls.com/rets that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action."
we have an existing ASP.net application that is undergoing expansion. The new functionality is all written in Silverlight 4. As part of that expansion I gutted all the old Linq to SQL and put Entity Framework 4 into place. To do this I created a standard .net Class Library and added my edmx files there. Naturally, the business entities created by this cannot be used in Silverlight. So I created a Silverlight Class Library and added all the business entities to that Silverlight Class Library as linked files. I changed the name space to be the same.
So I have the following assembly / namespaces
Company.Project.Dal.csproj / Company.Project.Entities (.net 4 class library)
Company.Project.Entities.csproj / Company.Project.Entities (SL4 class library)
With this architecture I was able to share my business entities with my SL enabled web services, my asp.net projects, my silverlight projects. Really it's a beautiful thing.
Once this was done I added "message" classes to Company.Project.Dal and again shared them with the other entites using linked files. These messages are things like MyObjectRequest; they are classes that have properties that can set to the ID of the record in the database you want to get, a search string for filtering by last name, first name, etc. (This is in the style of the Web Service Factory if you're familiar with that.)
Finally I turned the whole message into a generic using a base class called EntityRequest

I corrected this error and everything went well for a week until I had to make my first change to the service interface. I added a new operation contract, clicked the handy Update Service Reference on my client and boom.
I could really use some help on this one. I've been fighting it now for several days and we are supposed to start testing early next week.I am subscribing to 4 web services all hosted by the same company. The integration with 1, 2 and 3 all went fine, but on the fourth I keep getting the very unhelpful error:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException = {"Server was unable to process request. ---> Object reference not set to an instance of an object."} [code]...
I have an existing project with a silverlight3 app. First I created SALESservice.svc.This is working fine. Now I added another TARGETservice.svc to my project and rebuilded my entire project but when I am trying to add the service reference in to the silverlight app I get the following error:
There was an error downloading metadata from the address.verify that you have entered a valid address. I didn't write any code in ISALESservice.svc AND ITARGETservice.svc . I have written in SALESservice.svc.cs AND TARGETservice.svc.cs files.Is this causing error? But for SALESservice.svc it is working. I didn't add any code in web.config file.
How to create an instance of web service without adding web service reference? How to identify the server address/name where the web service is hosted from C# code?
have a web service that I'm trying to consume from a console app through http post. I receive a 500 exception error from the xmlstring parm being passed to the web service. Add the following to web.config of the web service. Although it is not working in debug in vs 2008 as well.

the host file is setup for the web service as well.
I was given a new Win 7 machine for development and converted our project to it. Everything is working fine except posting a an XML from to localhost. I'm getting the famous (500) Internal Server Error. (previous machine was Vista...) I had also upgraded from VS2008 to VS2010.
There is nothing in the event log, and the IIS log shows that the web server does get the hit: 2010-09-15 15:03:13 W3SVC1 MYCOMPUTER ::1 POST /xml/MRPImport.asmx/UploadForecast - 81 - ::1 HTTP/1.1 - - - localhost:81 500 0 0 280
Below is the code that was working perfectly fine until the upgrade.
Dim oWeb As New System.Net.WebClient() oWeb.Headers.Add("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded") Dim bytArguments As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strXMLData) Dim bytRetData As Byte() = oWeb.UploadData(ToURL, "POST", bytArguments)
My web service uses .Net Framework 2.0. An e-learning application reads and updates an Access database in the web service via Http Post commands. I test the e-learning application and the web service using the version of IIS 7 that came with Windows Vista. I run IIS using localhost in my browser.
All works well. But a friend is having trouble running the same test with my files on her IIS 6 server. So I'm developing a checklist of issues in setting up an IIS 6 server to run a web service. I plan to include all possible causes of problems including permissions, accounts that are needed, etc. Are there resources to which I can go for this checklist?
we need to expose a web service to the 3rd party vendor which can only call using POST protocol, NOT SOAP.So my question, is it better to build a web service or just simply .aspx page?Also is there any best practice documentation on this.
I am after a tool that allows me to catch HTTP traffic on my local machine that is generated through web service calls. I have tried Fiddler, but it doesn't seem to catch my web services that are sent via...
[Code]....
Maybe fiddler can be set up to allow this, I am not sure :-s If anyone knows, can you explain, or if anyone has used a tool on their local machine that can catch HTTP request/responses from the above code?
I have a UI that communicates with a service. I made some changes to the service- added some code and a property in the Interface associated with the service. After I made the changes, I updated the service reference in my UI and I couldn't access my newly added property. I also tried deleting the reference and adding in back again, it still doesn't work. I get the following error:
xxxxxxx(filename) does not contain a definition for xxxx(propertyname) and no extension method accepting a first arguement of type xxxxx could be found(are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
When I look in the Reference.cs file, I don't see the newly added property in it.
I am trying to call webservice from my web application. The web application had integrated windows authentication. I've written custome principal class to do authorization. But when I give call to my web service with default credentials it gives me 'the request failed with http status 401 unauthorized.' error.
When I give call to my local webservice it is running fine (It also has integrated windows authentication) But when I add reference of same web service from QA server I am getting this error. Not sure what is happening. I also tried
I have web project and class projects. one of the Class project has web reference. and i am consuming it in web project.Question: can I change class projects web reference url depending on environment DEV, Release, Test?Question: While in runtime why does not web reference's url take value from app.config?(it is taking value from Settings.settings.)
Thing is, when my service is providing result of type string my client .aspx page is working fine and it gives reference in my code. But now I changed my service to provide custom data type and I can't see service reference in my code, intellisense doesn't offer it at all. What am I missing here? WCFTestClient.exe is giving good results but I can't create my own in VS 2008
I have created WCF Application in vs2010 and using it in window application . i have added WCF service reference using "Add Web service Reference" from visual stuio. i want to do it by programming.
