    <p>I think this previous Stack Overflow question may help with your current question but not necessarily your problem.</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4504301/error-cannot-import-wsdlport-with-svcutil">Error: Cannot import wsdl:port with svcutil</a></p> <p>You've created your WCF service and you've browsed to it in IIS so you're happy that it is working. The purpose of SVCUtil.exe is to generate classes that you can use in an application to interact with the service with compile time information on the contract members and methods.</p> <p>it performs the exact same function as adding a service reference in visual studio to consume the service.</p> <p>If your having trouble, i'd suggest just creating a simple console project in visual studio, adding a service reference and giving it the url of the service you've hosted in IIS. Then click "show all files" in the visual studio solution explorer and look at the reference.cs file it gives you. This will show you what information has been consumed from your service.</p> <p><strong>Edit</strong></p> <p>Hi Again, </p> <p>After going through all the comments below I'm starting to see more about your problem. I think you misunderstand what it is your doing when in fact you've already achieved what you want to achieve.</p> <p>The original project, the one you had with the WCF test client that worked did what you needed. It is a fully fledged WCF Service. All you needed to do was right click the solution in visual studio and publish it. If you then make sure that you make an IIS virtual directory point at your solution, through the publish wizard. Then when you run your project and then browse to that url, that will give you a service to consume for testing purposes.</p> <p>What you are doing at the moment, creating a WCF project, adding that DLL to a website project is fundamentally wrong: The example you followed, presumably this one : <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733766.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733766.aspx</a> is about creating a WCF service in a web site project from scratch. Not about adding a pre-existing WCF project and hosting it.</p> <p>Your essentially trying to do one thing in two different ways together.</p> <p>Your current course of action is to either remove the DLL in your web project and then create the service there. Or host your current WCF service in IIS ( the project you downloaded from me or your original one)</p> <p>At this point you have a hosted service. Then usually you have an application to interact wtih it. This you found using svcutil and can be done in one of two ways:</p> <p>You create the console application and do "Add Service Reference" to the URL you have hosted in IIS.</p> <p>Or you use SVC Util.exe point it at the url which generates a class file you include in your console / application.</p> <p>I hope that clears things up about WCF and what stages to use various tools?</p> <p><strong>Edit 2</strong></p> <p>Just in case you don't get to the Chat:</p> <p>I still think theres something wrong with your original project. I'm not sure what you mean by the one with the DLL either? if that means your website project with the dll of the WCF project, then no not that one.</p> <p>I've taken the project I sent you earlier. I've hosed that in IIS so that when i browse to localhost/EvalService on my machine i get the standard</p> <p>"EvalService Service</p> <p>You have created a service.</p> <p>To test this service, you will need to create a client and use it to call the service. You can do this using the svcutil.exe tool from the command line with the following syntax:"</p> <p>Once I had that set up i created a console application, "added service reference" in visual studio and it consumed teh service no problem.</p> <p>Try doing the above with the project I sent you and see how far you get.</p>

    1. COHi Chris. Thanks for replying (this thing has been going on for some days now with no resolution). I'd heard the suggestion about using my IP address before, although I wasn't sure why that would help since I figured that would resolve down to the local IP anyway. That said, I did try it. Instead of http://localhost/EvalServiceSite/Eval.svc, I used 192.168.0.2/EvalServiceSite/Eval.svc (I assume you don't mean my internet facing IP address). This was for svcutil.exe, by the way. I've just compared the outputs from each in Notepad and they seem to be identical (to be continued...)

    2. COSo that didn't work. I tried the next suggestion, which involves creating a simple console application. I tried adding a service reference with both http://localhost/EvalServiceSite/Eval.svc and http://192.168.0.2/EvalServiceSite/Eval.svc, and they both resulted in the following error: http://i.imgur.com/gMSse.jpg This is, incidentally, the error I got repeatedly before I even looked into svcutil.exe.

    3. COIve worked with WCF a bit and it can be difficult to debug things like this. What happens if you just run your WCF project inside visual studio? it should launch the WCF test client allowing you to test the service without hosting it or consuming it. If that errors then theres something else at play. Other than that I'm reduced to googling I'm afraid =/
