WCF Service Client: The content type text/html; charset=utf-8 of the response message does not match the content type of the binding

Question

I\'ve got a WCF Service running on my local IIS server. I\'ve added it as a service reference to a C# Website Project and it adds fine and generates the proxy classes automa

Answer 1

In my WCF serive project this issue is due to Reference of System.Web.Mvc.dll 's different version. So it may be compatibility issue of DLL's different version

When I use

System.Web.Mvc.dll version 5.2.2.0 -> it thorows the Error The content type text/html; charset=utf-8 of the response message

but when I use System.Web.Mvc.dll version 4.0.0.0 or lower -> it works fine.

I don't know the reason of different version DLL's issue but by changing the DLL's verison it works for me.

This Error even generate when you add reference of other Project in your WCF Project and this reference project has different version of System.Web.Mvc DLL or could be any other DLL.
