Hi,

I'm trying to communicate between WCF hosted in Windows Service and my service GUI. The problem is when I'm trying to execute OperationContract method I'm getting

"The ChannelDispatcher at 'net.tcp://localhost:7771/MyService' with contract(s) '"IContract"' is unable to open its IChannelListener."

My app.conf looks like that:

<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
        <netTcpBinding>
            <binding name="netTcpBinding">
                <security>
                    <transport protectionLevel="EncryptAndSign" />
                </security>
            </binding>
        </netTcpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <behaviors>
        <serviceBehaviors>
            <behavior name="MyServiceBehavior">
                <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpGetUrl="http://localhost:7772/MyService" />
                <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
            </behavior>
        </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
    <services>
        <service behaviorConfiguration="MyServiceBehavior"
            name="MyService.Service">
            <endpoint address="net.tcp://localhost:7771/MyService" binding="netTcpBinding"
                bindingConfiguration="netTcpBinding" name="netTcp" contract="MyService.IContract" />
        </service>
    </services>
</system.serviceModel>

Port 7771 is listening (checked using netstat) and svcutil is able to generate configs for me.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.


Stack trace from exception

Server stack trace:

There's one inner exeption (but not under Exeption.InnerExeption but under Exeption.Detail.InnerExeption - ToString() method doesn't show that)

A registration already exists for URI 'net.tcp://localhost:7771/MyService'.

But my service have specified this URI only in app.config file nowhere else. In entire solution this URI apears in server once and client once.
