I have been trying to follow this article on communicating with a WCF service from a mobile device (using compact framework 3.5). I have the service running on the desktop, and it tells me that it's running as:
http://localhost:1414/MyService.svc
I can see this in my client, but when I try to access it, I get this error:
There was no endpoint listening at http://localhost:1414/MyService.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
So I did:
InnerException: {"No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it"}
I am running from the emulator, which the article states did not work - I therefore suspect that I have encountered the same issue. So my question is, does anyone know why this issue may occur?
EDIT:
Just to clarify, this works fine when deployed to the device. It's just the emulator that has the problem.
EDIT:
Thanks to @Shiraz Bhaiji I have made some progress with this now, but am now getting the error returned:
CFFaultException
This seems to be the only error information I can get, and it's caused by the call:
MyServiceServiceClient client = new MyServiceServiceClient(binding, endpoint);
returnString = client.MyFunc1();
I have changed the endpoint to reference my I.P. address directly as follows (the WCF service is running on my PC at the minute):
Binding binding = MyServiceServiceClient.CreateDefaultBinding();
string remoteAddress = MyServiceServiceClient.EndpointAddress.Uri.ToString();
EndpointAddress endpoint = new EndpointAddress("http://1.1.1.1/MyService/MyService.svc");
