.net – InvalidOperationException while creating wcf web service instance

netwcfweb services

I have a WCF Web Service which is referenced from a class library. After the project is run, when creating the service client object from inside a class library, I receive an InvalidOperationException with message:

Could not find default endpoint element that references contract
'MyServiceReference.IMyService' in the ServiceModel client
configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was
found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching
this contract could be found in the client element.

The code I am using to create the instance is:

myServiceClient = new MyServiceClient();

where MyServiceClient inherits from

System.ServiceModel.ClientBase

How do I solve this?

Note: I have a seperate console application which simply creates the same service object and makes calls to it and it works without no problems.

Or you can set the endpoint in your code:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms731862.aspx

BasicHttpBinding binding = new BasicHttpBinding();
EndpointAddress address = new EndpointAddress("http://url-to-service/");

// Create a client that is configured with this address and binding.
MyServiceClient client = new MyServiceClient(binding, address);
