WCF Multiple Bindings

Question

I'm getting the following error when I try multiple end points..

System.ServiceModel.AddressAlreadyInUseException: The TransportManager failed to listen on the supplied URI using the NetTcpPortSharing service: the service failed to listen.

Here's my App.Config contents

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true" />
  </system.web>
  <!-- When deploying the service library project, the content of the config file must be added to the host's 
  app.config file. System.Configuration does not support config files for libraries. -->
  <system.serviceModel>

          <identity>

          </identity>
        </endpoint>
        <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
        <endpoint address="Service" binding="netTcpBinding" bindingConfiguration="tcpBinding"
          name="testTcp" contract="WcfServiceLibrary1.IService1" />
        <host>
          <baseAddresses>
            <add baseAddress="http://localhost:8731/Design_Time_Addresses/WcfServiceLibrary1/Service1/" />
            <add baseAddress="net.tcp://localhost:8731/Design_Time_Addresses/WcfServiceLibrary1/Service" />

          </baseAddresses>

        </host>
      </service>
    </services>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="WcfServiceLibrary1.Service1Behavior">
          <!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, 
          set the value below to false and remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment -->
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="True"/>
          <!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, 
          set the value below to true.  Set to false before deployment 
          to avoid disclosing exception information -->
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="False" />
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
  </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

Would be great if someone could guide me where I'm wrong.

Net TCP port sharing service is enabled both in App.Config and Windows Service.That's as far as I could possibly check.

Answer 1

It could be that you're using the same port for the HTTP and TCP bindings. Try changing the port on the TCP binding to 8732 or anything other than 8731.
