    copied!<p>I'm trying to create an in-process unit test for my service to client interactions using net.pipe binding. Like a good WCF service it uses FaultContractAttribute on service operations to expose possible faults <em>(wrapped exceptions)</em> to metadata. I would like to have the client and service endpoints configured thru XML <em>(App.config).</em> However, whenever a fault is thrown, it's just a CommunicationException "pipe has closed", and not the typed Fault I was expecting.</p> <pre><code>System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException: There was an error reading from the pipe: The pipe has been ended. (109, 0x6d). </code></pre> <p>I tried Adding IMetadataExchange endpoint for net.pipe, but that didn't work. I also tried . Which being on Vista required me to netsh the ACL for the http endpoint. That too did not work.</p> <p>The custom exception class:</p> <pre><code>public class ValidationException : ApplicationException { } </code></pre> <p>This is the latest attempt at a config, but it pumps out <em>"The contract name 'IMetadataExchange' could not be found in the list of contracts implemented by the service"</em></p> <p>Any Links to examples or recommendations for how to get this done would be appreciated.</p> <p></p> <p></p> <pre><code>&lt;system.serviceModel&gt; &lt;client&gt; &lt;endpoint name="Client" contract="IService" address="net.pipe://localhost/ServiceTest/" binding="netNamedPipeBinding" bindingConfiguration="netPipeBindingConfig" /&gt; &lt;/client&gt; &lt;services&gt; &lt;service name="Service" behaviorConfiguration="ServiceFaults"&gt; &lt;host&gt; &lt;baseAddresses&gt; &lt;add baseAddress="net.pipe://localhost/ServiceTest/"/&gt; &lt;add baseAddress="http://localhost/ServiceTest/"/&gt; &lt;/baseAddresses&gt; &lt;/host&gt; &lt;endpoint address="" binding="netNamedPipeBinding" bindingConfiguration="netPipeBindingConfig" name="ServicePipe" contract="IService" /&gt; &lt;endpoint address="MEX" binding="mexNamedPipeBinding" bindingConfiguration="mexNetPipeBindingConfig" name="MexUserServicePipe" contract="IMetadataExchange" /&gt; &lt;/service&gt; &lt;/services&gt; &lt;bindings&gt; &lt;netNamedPipeBinding&gt; &lt;binding name="netPipeBindingConfig" closeTimeout="00:30:00" sendTimeout="00:30:00" /&gt; &lt;/netNamedPipeBinding&gt; &lt;mexNamedPipeBinding&gt; &lt;binding name="mexNetPipeBindingConfig"&gt;&lt;/binding&gt; &lt;/mexNamedPipeBinding&gt; &lt;/bindings&gt; &lt;behaviors&gt; &lt;serviceBehaviors&gt; &lt;behavior name="ServiceFaults"&gt; &lt;serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/&gt; &lt;/behavior&gt; &lt;behavior name="MEX"&gt; &lt;serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpGetUrl="http://localhost/ServiceTest/MEX"/&gt; &lt;/behavior&gt; &lt;/serviceBehaviors&gt; &lt;/behaviors&gt; &lt;/system.serviceModel&gt; </code></pre> <p> </p>
