Uncompiled WCF on IIS7: The type could not be found
- by Jimmy
Hello,
I've been trying to follow this tutorial for deploying a WCF sample to IIS .
I can't get it to work. This is a hosted site, but I do have IIS Manager access to the server. However, in step 2 of the tutorial, I can't "create a new IIS application that is physically located in this application directory". I can't seem to find a menu item, context menu item, or what not to create a new application. I've been right-clicking everywhere like crazy and still can't figure out how to create a new app. I suppose that's probably the root issue, but I tried a few other things (described below) just in case that actually is not the issue.
This is "deployed" at http://test.com.cws1.my-hosting-panel.com/IISHostedCalcService/Service.svc . The error says:
The type 'Microsoft.ServiceModel.Samples.CalculatorService',
provided as the Service attribute value in the ServiceHost directive,
or provided in the configuration element
system.serviceModel/serviceHostingEnvironment/serviceActivations
could not be found.
I also tried to create a virtual dir (IISHostedCalc) in dotnetpanel that points to IISHostedCalcService . When I navigate to http://test.com.cws1.my-hosting-panel.com/IISHostedCalc/Service.svc , then there is a different error:
This collection already contains an address with scheme http.
There can be at most one address per scheme in this collection.
As per the tutorial, there was no compiling involved; I just dropped the files on the server as follow inside the folder IISHostedCalcService:
service.svc
Web.config
Service.cs
service.svc contains:
<%@ServiceHost language=c# Debug="true" Service="Microsoft.ServiceModel.Samples.CalculatorService"%>
(I tried with quotes around the c# attribute, as this looks a little strange without quotes, but it made no difference)
Web.config contains:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="Microsoft.ServiceModel.Samples.CalculatorService">
<!-- This endpoint is exposed at the base address provided by host: http://localhost/servicemodelsamples/service.svc -->
<endpoint address=""
binding="wsHttpBinding"
contract="Microsoft.ServiceModel.Samples.ICalculator" />
<!-- The mex endpoint is explosed at http://localhost/servicemodelsamples/service.svc/mex -->
<endpoint address="mex"
binding="mexHttpBinding"
contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
</services>
</system.serviceModel>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Service.cs contains:
using System;
using System.ServiceModel;
namespace Microsoft.ServiceModel.Samples
{
[ServiceContract]
public interface ICalculator
{
[OperationContract]
double Add(double n1, double n2);
[OperationContract]
double Subtract(double n1, double n2);
[OperationContract]
double Multiply(double n1, double n2);
[OperationContract]
double Divide(double n1, double n2);
}
public class CalculatorService : ICalculator
{
public double Add(double n1, double n2)
{
return n1 + n2;
}
public double Subtract(double n1, double n2)
{
return n1 - n2;
}
public double Multiply(double n1, double n2)
{
return n1 * n2;
}
public double Divide(double n1, double n2)
{
return n1 / n2;
}
}
}
