calling asmx from c# server side: endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the client element

Question

I wrote an asmx webSerivce on srv1. I wrote a bll project of an asp.net (original text: an asp.net) project on srv2. Both are hosted under the same web doma

OK, let me try to rephrase your scenario to make sure I got it right:

1. You have an ASMX web service hosted on some domain.
2. You have an ASP.NET application hosted on the same or a different domain (it doesn't really matter) from which you want to to consume this ASMX web service using a WCF client (svcutil).

The first step is to add a Service Reference to the ASP.NET application by pointing to the WSDL of the ASMX service:

This will do 2 things:

• It will add a ServiceReference to your web application

• It will modify your web.config and include the client endpoints:

  <client>
    <endpoint address="http://ws.cdyne.com/NotifyWS/phonenotify.asmx"
      binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="PhoneNotifySoap"
      contract="ServiceReference1.PhoneNotifySoap" name="PhoneNotifySoap" />
    <endpoint address="http://ws.cdyne.com/NotifyWS/phonenotify.asmx"
      binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="PhoneNotifySoap12"
      contract="ServiceReference1.PhoneNotifySoap" name="PhoneNotifySoap12" />
  </client>
  

Now when you want to invoke this service from your application you will have to choose the endpoint you want to use:

using (var client = new ServiceReference1.PhoneNotifySoapClient("PhoneNotifySoap"))
{
    var result = client.GetVersion();
}

Now simply replace my code snippets with your actual service names.
