    <p>I'm creating a WCF service that will be used to insert data into a database.</p> <p>The WCF service runs normally when using functions that are scoped locally to within the interface and class of the service itself, however, it fails to start when I use a class that is in an external DLL.</p> <p>I made sure that the class in the DLL has all the required attributes, but still can't run the service.</p> <p>Any ideas?</p> <p>EDIT: This is the faulty function</p> <pre><code> public Dal_Users createProfile(DateTime dateOfBirth, string email, string firstname, bool genderIsMale, string lastname, string mphoneno, string nickname, string password, string pictureURL) { try { //generate new user object /////////////////////////start user metadata///////////////////////////////////////// Dal_Users newUser = new Dal_Users(); newUser.DateOfBirth = dateOfBirth; newUser.Email = email; newUser.FirstName = firstname; newUser.GenderIsMale = genderIsMale; newUser.LastName = lastname; newUser.MPhoneNo = mphoneno; newUser.NickName = nickname; newUser.Password = password; newUser.ProfilePicture = pictureURL; //////////////////////////////end user metadata/////////////////////////////////////// //insert user in database, call updateUsers without an ID newUser.UpdateUsers(); return newUser; } catch (Exception ex) { return new Dal_Users(); } } </code></pre> <p>The class DAL_Users comes from a DLL and is marked as a <code>DataContract</code></p> <pre><code>/// &lt;summary&gt; /// this is the data access class for the table Users /// &lt;/summary&gt; [DataContract] public class Dal_Users </code></pre> <p>EDIT2: </p> <pre><code>My app.config looks like this </code></pre> <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code> &lt;system.serviceModel&gt; &lt;services&gt; &lt;service name="ProfileService.ProfileMgr"&gt; &lt;endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="ProfileService.IProfileMgr"&gt; &lt;identity&gt; &lt;dns value="localhost" /&gt; &lt;/identity&gt; &lt;/endpoint&gt; &lt;endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" /&gt; &lt;host&gt; &lt;baseAddresses&gt; &lt;add baseAddress="http://localhost:8732/Design_Time_Addresses/ProfileService/Service1/" /&gt; &lt;/baseAddresses&gt; &lt;/host&gt; &lt;/service&gt; &lt;/services&gt; &lt;behaviors&gt; &lt;serviceBehaviors&gt; &lt;behavior&gt; &lt;!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false and remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment --&gt; &lt;serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="True"/&gt; &lt;!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
