I can't access wcf service using net.tcp://<servicename>

Question

I'm using IE8 and can't connect to my WCF service using net.tcp. I'm able to access the same service with http binding just fine. I got two binding enabled in app.config (net.tcp, http). Can anyone tell me if there is a settings that I need to set/play with for viewing service using net.tcp in IE.

Answer 1

You cannot connect to a WCF service using the netTcpBinding through IE.

What you need is a "real" WCF client app, or something like WCF Test Client which is shipped with WCF in the box - just find it and start using it!

Answer 2

Make sure you have a HTTP base address, for your service and a mexTcpBinding endpoint.
