WCF Service Help page for net.tcp binding

Is it possible to configure a WCF service (with net.tcp bindings) in such a way that it can display a help page as it shows in case of http bindings?

Solution

  • Add a mex endpoint to your service

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

    Then add httpGetEnabled to the service's metadata

    <serviceBehaviors>
  <behavior name="MyServiceBehavior">
   <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
  </behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>

    Then you should be able to browse the mex endpoint's url with http

    EDIT: changed binding to mexHttpBinding instead of mexTcpBinding
