WCF Test Client : Failed to add a service. Service metadata may not be accessible. Make sure your service is running and exposing metadata
Solution 1
Found the solution Ok, after spending lot of time I cracked it. For some reason if I run the sample as console app it just works fine. But the moment I use WCFTestClient I was getting errors. If I remove the [ServiceKnownType(typeof(SyncIdFormatGroup))]
from the contract it works in WCFTestClient. Hope that helps someone.
Solution 2
Have you enabled a mex (metadata exchange) endpoint in your service?
<endpoint
address="mex"
binding="mexHttpBinding"
contract="IMetadataExchange"/>

I am currently trying to get the sync framework sample working: sample
The solution compiles with out any error or warning.
But when I hit F5 the WCF Test Client launches and throws the following error.
Local\Temp\Test Client Projects\10.0\5b6aab8a-6629-4a12-87c2-e9e75ba9c1e4\Client.cs(379,13) : error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'schema' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Below is the code from
Client.cs
that the above error is referencing/// <remarks/> [System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("svcutil", "4.0.30319.1")] [System.SerializableAttribute()] [System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()] [System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategoryAttribute("code")] [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(Namespace="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Microsoft.Synchronization")] public partial class SyncIdFormatGroup { private schema schemaField; private System.Xml.XmlElement anyField; /// <remarks/> [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(Namespace="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", Order=0)] public schema schema { get { return this.schemaField; } set { this.schemaField = value; } } /// <remarks/> [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlAnyElementAttribute(Order=1)] public System.Xml.XmlElement Any { get { return this.anyField; } set { this.anyField = value; } } }
It would be great if some one could help me with the problem.
