Connecting to a WCF Service hosted in a Windows Service

[=?Utf-8?B?QWRyaWFuIENvbGU=?=]

I have written a simple WCF service hosted in a Windows console application
and a simple WCF client console application that connects successfully to
that service and retrieves data. I then ported the console application to
WinForms and also got that to work properly.

My next move was to host the WCF service in a Windows service application. I
believe I have that working correctly, but I can't for the life of me get a
client to connect to the service. I did not use svcutil to generate proxy
code for the client, but instead relied on using a ChannelFactory to
instantiate my client connection to the service.

Here's the client code:

namespace MyClient
{
public partial class MainForm : Form
{
private IMyService service;

public MainForm()
{
InitializeCompo nent();

try
{
ChannelFactory< IMyServicefacto ry = new
ChannelFactory< IMyService>("My Service");
service = factory.CreateC hannel();
string myData = service.GetMyDa ta();
MessageBox.Show (myData);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show (ex.Message + ex.StackTrace);
}
}
}
}

Here's the client app.config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuratio n>
<system.service Model>
<client>
<endpoint address="net.tc p://localhost:12345/MyService/service"
binding="netTcp Binding"
contract="Contr acts.IMyService "
name="MyService ">
</endpoint>
</client>
</system.serviceM odel>
</configuration>

Here's the server app.config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuratio n>
<system.service Model>
<services>
<service name="MyService ">
<host>
<baseAddresse s>
<add
baseAddress="ne t.tcp://localhost:12345/MyService/service"/>
</baseAddresses>
</host>
<endpoint address=""
binding="netTcp Binding"
contract="Contr acts.IMyService ">
</endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex"
binding="mexTcp Binding"
contract="IMeta dataExchange">
</endpoint>
</service>
</services>
</system.serviceM odel>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehavio rs>
<behavior name="metadataS upport">
<serviceMetadat a>
</serviceMetadata >
</behavior>
</serviceBehavior s>
</behaviors>
</configuration>

Here's the contract code:

namespace Contracts
{
[ServiceContract]
public interface IMyService
{
[OperationContra ct]
string GetMyData();
}
}

I get the following exception when invoking the service.GetMyDa ta() method:

Could not connect to net.tcp://localhost:12345/MyService/service. The
connection attempt lasted for a time span of 00:00:00.984381 3. TCP error code
10061: No connection could be made because the target machine actively
refused it.

This is my first attempt at using WCF. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
