Trying to add a service reference results in Bad Request (400) in one project, otherwise runs fine

Question

I\'m in a delicate situation: As the title suggests, I can\'t seem to connect to a WCF service I wrapped up in a Windows Service. I followed the tutorial http://msdn.microso

Cannot say what the problem is but here is some info to help you find the problem.

When you do "Add Service Reference" there is a http get Call that goes to the service. I am assuming that it is this Call that Returns http 400. You have a mex endpoint and httpgetenabled, missing these are the normal problems.

You can try Reading the wsdl using a browser and see if that Works.

Reasons could be:

• Port 8000 is blocked
• The IIS site is on a different port
• You are Accessing the site using the machine name and the config uses local host
• the binding is not enabled in iis for that port
