PLS HELP: Trying to run WCF examples - getting errors.

[MuZZy]

Hi,

I'm trying to run Windows Communication Foundation examples included
with .NET 3 SDK and I'm getting error:

The requested service,
"http://localhost/servicemodelsamples/service.svc" couldn't be activated.

I did try almost every example and get this error - i haven't succeded
in running any WCF service so far. I suspect i'm missing something?

Any help woul dbe highly appreciated!

Thank you,
Andrey

Hello MuZzy,

As for the WCF sample issue, based on the error message and the activation
url, it is likely specific to http binding service that hosted in IIS. You
can try some custom hosted sample to see whether it works. Fro example ,
the following self host sample use console application for service host:

Under the following path:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v6.0\Samples\WCFSamples\TechnologySam ples\Basic\Service\Hosting
\SelfHost\CS

You can try it to see whether it works. If works, the problem should be
related to the IIS hosted service's setup.

Thanks Steven,

Actually the problem was that i didn't make that IIS virtual folder an
application. Once i made it an app, it all worked.
