mex

I am not able to open the meta data url - http://localhost:8082/Tasks/mex I have added the mexhttpBinding in the config file. Can I see this mex endpoint in browser?

The config files look like:

<endpoint address="mex"  binding="mexHttpBinding"  contract="IMetadataExchange" />

Questions:

Is Mex is differ from WSDL? If no, why do we require MEX endpoing over WSDL?

In the WSDL, I see the WSDL types information missing. Is it by default? Can I look at the type information in WSDL?

Thanks in advance.
