Why am I getting WCF error?

Question

Am getting this error when I browse to a .svc page in IIS [ie. http://localhost/PTSNew/PTNewService.svc].Could you please advise on how to resolve this error?And also, is the url given in baseAddress attribute incorrect?Thanks.

Service 'PTSNew.PriceTestingService' has zero application (non-infrastructure) endpoints. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no service element matching the service name could be found in the configuration file, or because no endpoints were defined in the service element.

Heres my interface and app.config xml:

namespace PTSNew 
{ 
    // NOTE: If you change the class name "Service1" here, you must also update the reference to "Service1" in App.config.

        public class PriceTestingService : IPriceTesting, IDisposable
}

namespace PTSNew 
{ 
    // NOTE: If you change the interface name "IService1" here, you must also update the reference to "IService1" in App.config.

    [ServiceContract] 
    public interface IPriceTesting 
}

Answer 1

seems that you have forgotten to write contract attribute for the service element

please go to the http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WCF/first_WCF_Service.aspx to see an example
