WCF Default Endpoint not found


I am creating a WCF Service. It is my first one. I am receiving the error:

Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'WCFClient.IWCFClient' in the ServiceModel client configuration section.

I have tried switching around endpoint names and such, and deleting/recreating the service reference. I can't seem to figure out what the problem is.

Application Config:

<bindings>
    <basicHttpBinding>
         <binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IWCFClient" closeTimeout="00:01:00"
                openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"
                allowCookies="false" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
                maxBufferSize="65536" maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536"
                messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" transferMode="Buffered"
                useDefaultWebProxy="true">
                <readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384"
                    maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
                <security mode="None">
                    <transport clientCredentialType="None" proxyCredentialType="None"
                        realm="" />
                    <message clientCredentialType="UserName" algorithmSuite="Default" />
                </security>
            </binding>
    </basicHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <client>
        <endpoint address="http://localhost:4295/Services/WCFClient.svc"
            binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IWCFClient"
            contract="WCFClient.IWCFClient" name="BasicHttpBinding_IWCFClient" />
    </client>

Service Config:

 <services>
  <service behaviorConfiguration="WCFGraphicManagementTool.Services.WCFClientBehavior"
    name="WCFGraphicManagementTool.Services.WCFClient">
      <endpoint address="" name="BasicHttpBinding_IWCFClient" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="WCFGraphicManagementTool.Contracts.IWCFClient">
    </endpoint>
    <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
  </service>
</services>
<behaviors>
  <serviceBehaviors>
    <behavior name="WCFGraphicManagementTool.Services.WCFClientBehavior">
        <dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483647" />
        <serviceThrottling maxConcurrentCalls="120" maxConcurrentSessions="120" maxConcurrentInstances="120" />
        <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="True" />
        <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="True" />
    </behavior>
  </serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>    

Solution

  • I just figured it out. I needed to add it to the project's web.config also. It was in the service's, but not the project.
