Silverlight4 net.tcp binding

Question

Hi I have a SL4 application which uses a WCF service using net.tcp binding. If i remove http from the protocols of the service in IIS (Advanced settings ) and keep only net.tcp , the service fails with an error saying that the service could not be activated. Does http need to be added to the proptocols of the service in IIS for the net.tcp to work? i cannot enable http on IIS for the service protocols. are there any workarounds

thanks Ben

Answer 1

Which version of IIS are you using? Net.TCP will fail if you are not using IIS7 or when a butterfly flaps its wings in Tokyo.

Answer 2

issue resolved. was something very small that i had overlooked. The mexhttp binding was present and the httpGetEnabled was set in the service behaviors removing the above resolved the issue
