I am getting the following error:
There was no endpoint listening at net.pipe://localhost/ServiceModelSamples/service that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
I am calling WCF self hosted service inside windows service from another WCF call as follows.
_host = new ServiceHost(typeof(CalculatorService),
new Uri[] { new Uri("net.pipe://localhost/PINSenderService") });
_host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(ICalculator),
new NetNamedPipeBinding(),
"");
_host.Open();
ChannelFactory<ICalculator> factory = new ChannelFactory<ICalculator>(
new NetNamedPipeBinding(NetNamedPipeSecurityMode.None),
new EndpointAddress("net.pipe://localhost/PINSenderService"));
ICalculator proxy = factory.CreateChannel();
proxy.SendPin(pin);
((IClientChannel)proxy).Close();
factory.Close();
Self-Hosted WCF Service

{
// Define a service contract.
public interface ICalculator
