Hi Gary,
Regarding on the "A binding instance has already been associated to listen
URI " problem you encountered, here are some of my understanding and
suggestion.
1. For the error message above, it indicate that you're trying to startup
an service host/endponit at a URL which is already occuplied. Based on my
understanding, one possible issue is that you create the WCF class library
via "WCF Service LIbrary" project type. And for this kind of project, it
will use the new "WCFTestclient. exe" for you to debug the WCF class library
when you hit F5 key in vs 2008. (This is a new feature of VS2008 for WCF
service library debugging, you do not need to write a dedicated client app
for test the service library). Here is an article describing this:
#WcfSvcHost and WcfTestClient in VS 2008
http://blogs.msdn.com/knom/archive/2...cftestclient-i
n-vs-2008.aspx
And for your scenario, since the service is already started in IIS6, when
you try hiting F5 to start debugging, the WcfTestClient will try host the
endpont again which result to the error at beginning.
2. When you host your WCF service in IIS, I think the reasonable approach
debugging is as below:
** If your WCF host webapplication and the client application which call it
is in the same solution, you can just start F5 debug in client appliation
project, and you should be able to step from client code into server-side
WCF service code.
** If you want to debug the server-side WCF service code only, then you can
manually use "Debug---Attach Process" to attach the IIS worker process
which host the wcf service. For IIS6, it should be the ASP.NET worker
process (w3wp.exe).
if you have anything unclear on this, please feel free to let me know.
Sincerely,
Steven Cheng

(this was also posted on the MSDN WCF forum but the answers over there are
not so good)
I have a WCF Library hosted by IIS 6 and it all works fine. However I need
to step through the code in the service. But when I hit F5 in VS2008 I get
the following error message. . .
A binding instance has already been associated to listen URI
'http://localhost:8877/VtaxDataService '. If two endpoints want to share the
same ListenUri, they must also share the same binding object instance.
nothing else on my machine is listening on that URI. I thought the message
might be referring to the website hosting my service but I stopped the web
site in IIS and I still get the message. I also stopped IIS and still get
the message My app.config is pasted below.
Why am I getting this message? What is the problem and how can I step
through this code?
Thanks
Gary
