I'm hosting a WCF service in IIS 7.5 using .NET 4.0. I also have a WPF application that I am using as my client that was built with Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0. I added my service reference and when I attempt to call a function, I get the following exception
The content type application/xml; charset=utf-8 of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8)
I am able to navigate to the service in a web browser and my bindings appear to be the same between the client and service (WsHttp bindings).
I know there are alot of google results about this error but none of them seemed to be relevant/help my specific problem. I tried installing Non-HTTP Activation features as well as a wide variety of other small tricks. Anybody be able to help? Thanks
edit, here are my configs (they are quite lengthy)

and thus returning just XML, while your client expects a SOAP XML message.... Can you show us server- and client-side configs?? – marc_s
