I have created a simple WCF service and hosted in it IIS at the location http://localhost/EssentialWCFIISService/service.svc
If I open this url in a web browser the service screen shows up fine and gives me this address for using the svcutil.exe file on - http://localhost/EssentialWCFIISService/service.svc?wsdl
So I then created a basic client application and clicked Add Service Reference and put that address into the dialog that appeared. However I am getting the following error:
An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'http://localhost/EssentialWCFIISService/service.svc?wsdl'. Content Type application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8 was not supported by service http://localhost/EssentialWCFIISService/service.svc?wsdl. The client and service bindings may be mismatched. The remote server returned an error: (415) Cannot process the message because the content type 'application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8' was not the expected type 'text/xml; charset=utf-8'.. If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.
From googling around I found several others with this problem and people the advice often says something along the lines of 'change the client's bindings to match the server's bindings'.....however I am not even at that stage, I have no bindings at all in my client as it is an empty project. Any ideas whats going wrong?
