I am new to .net and WCF. I am trying to build a WCF Service prototype that will get data from a database table and based on the data will send emails using a SMTP exchange.
For the prototype I created an Interface and Service and have hosted the WCF Service in IIS 5.1. For my test console I have referenced this Service. Now I am getting error messages from the console when I run my app.
This is what the code looks like:
namespace MyWcfConsoleApp
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create a proxy object and connect to the service
EmailServiceClient proxy = new EmailServiceClient();
// Test the operations in the service
Console.WriteLine("Test1");
//BulkEmailDTOList EmailInfo = proxy.GetBulkEmailInfo(1);
EmailService.IEmailService EmailInfo = ServiceLocator.Resolve<IEmailService>();
BulkEmailDTOList result = new BulkEmailDTOList();
result = EmailInfo.GetBulkEmailInfo(1);
This is what I have in my App.Config in the console app:

<section name="Dependency" type="WW.EnterpriseLibrary.Dependency.ServiceLocatorConfigurationSection, WW.EnterpriseLibrary"/>

Please let me know what am I doing wrong. Is there any simple way to call the DTO to retrieve my data? As I said I am new to this and so having tough time..
Here is my Implementation:
using BulkEmailDac = WW.Common.DataAccess.Impl.BulkEmailDac;
namespace WW.Common.Service.Impl
{
public class EmailService : IEmailService
{
private BulkEmailDac emailDac;
ErrorMsg err_msg = new ErrorMsg();
public EmailService()
{
emailDac = new BulkEmailDac();
}
public BulkEmailDTOList GetBulkEmailInfo(int recordLimit)
{
try
{
return emailDac.GetBulkEmailInfo(recordLimit);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
if (ex is FaultException<OperationFault>)
{
throw;
}
else
{
//LOG AND THROW AN UNKNOWN EXCEPTION
ApplicationLog.WriteError(DateTime.Now.ToString() + "|"
+ "GetBulkEmailInfo" + "|"
+ ex.Message + "|"
+ ex.StackTrace);
throw new FaultException<OperationFault>(new OperationFault(ex.Message, ErrorMessages.Unknown_Error_Code));
}
}
And this is the contract:
namespace WW.Common.Service.Contract
{
[ServiceContract]
public interface IEmailService
{
[OperationContract]
double Add(double n1, double n2);
[OperationContract]
double Subtract(double n1, double n2);
[OperationContract]
double Multiply(double n1, double n2);
[OperationContract]
double Divide(double n1, double n2);
[OperationContract]
[FaultContractAttribute(typeof(OperationFault))]
BulkEmailDTOList GetBulkEmailInfo(int recordLimit);
[OperationContract]
string Abc(string s1);
}
This is the Web.Config file in my Service:

First of all, your endpoint looks incorrect.
In the web config for the service, what is the value for relativeAddress in <serviceActivations>. That is the true path you should be hitting from your client application.
Also, a quick and dirty way of testing WCF services is by using the WCFTestClient located in VISUAL_STUDIO_INSTALL_PATH\Common7\IDE . Once you know your true endpoint you can test it from this app.
