New function added in WCF service is not showing on Client

I have a simple web application on Asp.net MVC. I created a WFC Service so I can get data to my Windows 8.1 app, but my new functions are not showing in my client side.

This My WFC code:

[DataContract]
    public class Service1 : IService1
    {
        ApplicationDbContext _db=new ApplicationDbContext();

        public string GetData(int value)
        {


            return string.Format("You entered: {0}", value);
        }

        public WtFImages.Models.Images GetDataL(int value)
        {
            var User = _db.Image.Local.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Id == value);

            return User;
        }
        public List<WtFImages.Models.Images> GetDataAll(int value)
        {
            var GetAllPublic = _db.Image.Local.ToList();

            return (GetAllPublic);
        }

        public IList<WtFImages.Models.Images> ZGetDataAll(int value)
        {
            var GetAllPublic = _db.Image.Local.ToList();

            return (GetAllPublic);
        }
        public CompositeType GetDataUsingDataContract(CompositeType composite)
        {
            if (composite == null)
            {
                throw new ArgumentNullException("composite");
            }
            if (composite.BoolValue)
            {
                composite.StringValue += "Suffix";
            }
            return composite;
        }
    }
}

My client side only shows the default functions.

Iservice Code

namespace ImageFechingWfc
{
    // NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the interface name "IService1" in both code and config file together.
    [ServiceContract]
    public interface IService1
    {

        [OperationContract]
        string GetData(int value);

        [OperationContract]
        CompositeType GetDataUsingDataContract(CompositeType composite);

        // TODO: Add your service operations here
    }


    // Use a data contract as illustrated in the sample below to add composite types to service operations.
    [DataContract]
    public class CompositeType
    {
        bool boolValue = true;
        string stringValue = "Hello ";

        [DataMember]
        public bool BoolValue
        {
            get { return boolValue; }
            set { boolValue = value; }
        }

        [DataMember]
        public string StringValue
        {
            get { return stringValue; }
            set { stringValue = value; }
        }
    }
}
Solution

  • Each method that you want to expose as service method, should exists in you IService1 interface and should be decorated with [OperationContract], then you should implement that method in service class.

    • Open IService1.cs and put signature of your methods is IService1 interface then decorate your new methods with [OperationContract], then put implementations in Service1 and rebuild the project, then add your service reference and use it.
    • Also You don't need that [DataContract] above your service implementation.

    For example if you want to have an int Add(int x, int y) method in your service, put this in your IService1 interface:

    [OperationContract]
int Add(int x, int y);

    and then put this in your Service1 class:

    public int Add(int x, int y)
{
    return x+y;
}
