Cannot add server reference: Contract requires Duplex, but Binding 'BasicHttpBinding' doesn't support it or isn't configured properly to support it

Viewed 292

I am making a WCF Service application on localhost and am having trouble with adding a service reference to a client application (in the same Visual Studio solution)

I am getting an error which says: "Contract requires Duplex, but Binding 'BasicHttpBinding' doesn't support it or isn't configured properly to support it." when I try to add the service reference. I am also able to start the service and it opens my browser automatically. From that point clicking on ScadaService.svc shows the same error.

When I change the service name to [ProjectName].ScadaService I get a different error, which says that there is no endpoint listening at 'http://localhost:11303/ScadaService.svc/$metadata'.

I have pasted my entire code in a new project class by class with no success.

The only contract that doesn't have a callback function has basicHttpBinding and changing it to wsDualHttpBinding does not work.

Not sure whether it could help, but the only problem I meet with your code is that duplicate OperationName. I couldn't reproduce your problem, after I change the OperationName , I could add reference to the service.

In addition, I remove your enum type SignalType and replace it with int.

Below is my contract.

[DataContract]
public class Tag
{
    [DataMember]
    public string Name { get; set; }
}
[ServiceContract(CallbackContract = typeof(IAlarmCallback))]
public interface IAlarmService
{
    [OperationContract]
    void AlarmInit();
}
[ServiceContract]
public interface IAlarmCallback
{
    [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)]
    void RaiseAlarm(Tag tag, double value);
}

[ServiceContract(CallbackContract = typeof(IDatabaseCallback))]
public interface IDatabaseService
{
    [OperationContract]
    void DatabaseInit();

    [OperationContract]
    void AddSimulationUnit(int address, int signalType, int scanPeriod);

    [OperationContract]
    void RemoveSimulationUnit(int index);

    [OperationContract]
    void AddTag(Tag tag);

    [OperationContract]
    void ModifyTag(string tagId, Tag newTag);

    [OperationContract]
    void RemoveTag(string tagId);
}
[ServiceContract]
public interface IDatabaseCallback
{
    [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)]
    void GetTags(List<Tag> tags);

    [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)]
    void TagAdded(Tag tag);

    [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)]
    void TagModified(string tagId, Tag newTag);

    [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)]
    void TagRemoved(string tagId);
}

[ServiceContract]
public interface IRTUService
{
    [OperationContract]
    void RTUInit(string iD, string publicKeyPath);

    [OperationContract]
    void RTUDelete(string iD, byte[] signature);

    [OperationContract]
    void RTScan(int address, double value, string iD, byte[] signature);
}

[ServiceContract(CallbackContract = typeof(ITrendingCallback))]
public interface ITrendingService
{
    [OperationContract]
    void InitTrending();
}

[ServiceContract]
public interface ITrendingCallback
{
    [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true,Name = "TrendGetTags")]
    void GetTags(List<Tag> tags);

    [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true, Name = "TrendTagAdd")]
    void TagAdded(Tag tag);

    [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true, Name = "TrendTagModified")]
    void TagModified(string tagId, Tag newTag);

    [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true, Name = "TrendTagRemoved")]
    void TagRemoved(string tagId);

    [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true, Name = "TrendNewScan")] // change the operation name
    void NewScan(string tagId, double value);
}

My service is empty.

 public class ScadaService : IRTUService,IDatabaseService,ITrendingService,IAlarmService
{
    public void AddSimulationUnit(int address, int signalType, int scanPeriod)
    {

    }

   // ignore other method


}

My svc

<%@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="Service.callback.ScadaService"  %>
