The communication object, System.ServiceModel.Channels.ServiceChannel, cannot be used for communication

Question

The communication object, System.ServiceModel.Channels.ServiceChannel, cannot be used for communication because it is in the Faulted state.

Answer 1

For me it was a load balancer/url issue. A web service behind a load balancer called another service behind the same load balancer using the full url like: loadbalancer.mycompany.com. I changed it to bypass the load balancer when calling the second service by using localhost.mycompany.com instead.

I think there was some kind of circular reference issue going on with the load balancer.
