Hello there,
I have a WCF
Service Library with netTcpBinding. Its app.config as follows:
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<netTcpBinding>
<binding name="netTcp" maxBufferPoolSize="50000000" maxReceivedMessageSize="50000000">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="500" maxStringContentLength="50000000" maxArrayLength="50000000" maxBytesPerRead="50000000" maxNameTableCharCount="50000000" />
<security mode="None"></security>
</binding>
</netTcpBinding>
</bindings>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="ReportingComponentLibrary.TemplateServiceBehavior"
name="ReportingComponentLibrary.TemplateReportService">
<endpoint address="TemplateService" binding="netTcpBinding" bindingConfiguration="netTcp"
contract="ReportingComponentLibrary.ITemplateService"></endpoint>
<endpoint address="ReportService" binding="netTcpBinding" bindingConfiguration="netTcp"
contract="ReportingComponentLibrary.IReportService"/>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" ></endpoint>
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="net.tcp://localhost:8001/TemplateReportService" />
<add baseAddress ="http://localhost:8080/TemplateReportService" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="ReportingComponentLibrary.TemplateServiceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="True"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="True" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
I want to call it from a console application for testing purpose.
I understand that I can call by adding
Service Reference or by adding proxy using svcutil.
But in both these cases, my
service needs to be up and running (I used WCF Test Client)
Is there any other way I can call and test
service method from console application?
