RE: Error on SOAP Call on only one machine: Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'ServiceReference1.SLDSoap' in the ServiceModel client configuration section

Hi Lance,

From your description, you encountered error when try instantiate a certain
webservice client you created in VS 2008 project, correct?

According to the error message and code snippet. It seems you're using a
project targetting .NET 3.5. By default, .NET 3.5/3.0 based project will
only provide "Add Service Reference"(not Add WebReference), and the
"Service Reference" is a proxy class used for consuming WCF service.

#Consuming a WCF service
http://geekswithblogs.net/MainaD/archive/2008/02/04/119287.aspx

Though WCF client can also consume standard XML webservice, you can still
use webservice proxy(web reference) if your server-side service is still an
ASP.NET webservice(rather than WCF service). To generate webservice
proxy(add webReference) in VS 2008, you can refer to the following article:

#How to add web reference in VS 2008 Project
http://carlosfemmer.com/post/2008/01/How-to-add-web-reference-in-VS-2008-Pro
ject.aspx

The error itself indicate the the WCF service client proxy doesn't have a
endpoint configuration in app.config file(by default the IDE should have
generated one endpoint for you). Anyway, you can first try using "Add
WebReference" instead to see whether it helps.

If there is anything unclear, welcoem to post here.

Sincerely,

Subject: Error on SOAP Call on only one machine: Could not find default
endpoint element that references contract 'ServiceReference1.SLDSoap' in
the ServiceModel client configuration section
Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2008 16:48:44 -0600


Hello,
I am receiving this error when trying to instantiate a webservice
component.
I have 2 development machines, both are XP sp2 with VS 2008 installed. On
one machine, the code works fine. On the other machine I get the error
upon
instantiating the service client. I add the reference by choosing Add
Service Reference from the project menu, and pointing to the remote wsdl
file. I can't seem to find what the difference between the two systems is.

Thanks
Lance

The following is the code

Dim sld As ServiceReference1.SLDClient
sld = New ServiceReference1.SLDClient 'error happens here...

Error:
Could not find default endpoint element that references contract
'ServiceReference1.SLDSoap' in the ServiceModel client configuration
section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your
application, or because no endpoint element matching this contract could
be
found in the client element.
