I have two base addresses defined in my WCF Service config file: ``` <readerQuotas maxDepth="500" maxStringContentLength="500…

WCF Service Base Address Http and netTcp

.net, net.tcp, wcf

Solution

You defined a Net.TCP base address to be:

net.tcp://localhost:8001/TemplateReportService

Your endpoints with Net TCP are:

<endpoint address="TemplateService"

and

<endpoint address="ReportService"

So their complete service address will be "netTcp base address" + "relative address as defined on the `<endpoint>` element" - this gives:

net.tcp://localhost:8001/TemplateReportService/TemplateService

and

net.tcp://localhost:8001/TemplateReportService/ReportService

respectfully.

Can you use them at these addresses??

Also - you defined a "mex" (metadata exchange) endpoint for the HTTP protocol - that's why you can see something when you navigate to the HTTP address. But you did not specify a MEX endpoint for netTcp.

Problem

I have two base addresses defined in my WCF Service config file: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <system.diagnostics> <sources> <source name="System.ServiceModel" switchValue="Warning, ActivityTracing" propagateActivity="true"> <listeners> <add type="System.Diagnostics.DefaultTraceListener" name="Default"> <filter type="" /> </add> <add name="ServiceModelTraceListener"> <filter type="" /> </add> </listeners> </source> </sources> <sharedListeners> <add initializeData="C:\WCF Service Logs\app_tracelog.svclog" type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" name="ServiceModelTraceListener" traceOutputOptions="DateTime, Timestamp"> <filter type="" /> </add> </sharedListeners> </system.diagnostics> <system.serviceModel> <bindings> <netTcpBinding> <binding name="netTcp" maxBufferPoolSize="50000000" maxReceivedMessageSize="50000000"> <readerQuotas maxDepth="500" maxStringContentLength="50000000" maxArrayLength="50000000" maxBytesPerRead="50000000" maxNameTableCharCount="50000000" /> <security mode="None"></security> </binding> </netTcpBinding> </bindings> <services> <service behaviorConfiguration="ReportingComponentLibrary.TemplateServiceBehavior" name="ReportingComponentLibrary.TemplateReportService"> <endpoint address="TemplateService" binding="netTcpBinding" bindingConfiguration="netTcp" contract="ReportingComponentLibrary.ITemplateService"></endpoint> <endpoint address="ReportService" binding="netTcpBinding" bindingConfiguration="netTcp" contract="ReportingComponentLibrary.IReportService"/> <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" /> <host> <baseAddresses> <add baseAddress="net.tcp://localhost:8001/TemplateReportService" /> <add baseAddress="http://localhost:8181/TemplateReportService" /> </baseAddresses> </host> </service> </services> <behaviors> <serviceBehaviors> <behavior name="ReportingComponentLibrary.TemplateServiceBehavior"> <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="True"/> <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="True" /> </behavior> </serviceBehaviors> </behaviors> </system.serviceModel> </configuration> ``` And although I have set endpoint binding as netTcpBinding, I am only able to access my WCF service with base address: ``` http://localhost:8181/TemplateReportService ``` and not with ``` net.tcp://localhost:8001/TemplateReportService ``` How can I make my service access with netTcp address?
