I am getting the following error:
There was no endpoint listening at net.pipe://localhost/ServiceModelSamples/service that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
I am calling WCF self hosted service inside windows service from another WCF call as follows.
_host = new ServiceHost(typeof(CalculatorService),
new Uri[] { new Uri("net.pipe://localhost/PINSenderService") });
_host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(ICalculator),
new NetNamedPipeBinding(),
"");
_host.Open();
ChannelFactory<ICalculator> factory = new ChannelFactory<ICalculator>(
new NetNamedPipeBinding(NetNamedPipeSecurityMode.None),
new EndpointAddress("net.pipe://localhost/PINSenderService"));
ICalculator proxy = factory.CreateChannel();
proxy.SendPin(pin);
((IClientChannel)proxy).Close();
factory.Close();
Self-Hosted WCF Service
namespace PINSender
{
// Define a service contract.
public interface ICalculator
{
[OperationContract]
void SendPin(string pin);
}
// Implement the ICalculator service contract in a service class.
public class CalculatorService : ICalculator
{
// Implement the ICalculator methods.
public void SendPin(string pin)
{
}
}
public class CalculatorWindowsService : ServiceBase
{
public ServiceHost serviceHost = null;
public CalculatorWindowsService()
{
// Name the Windows Service
ServiceName = "PINSenderService";
}
public static void Main()
{
ServiceBase.Run(new CalculatorWindowsService());
}
// Start the Windows service.
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
if (serviceHost != null)
{
serviceHost.Close();
}
// Create a ServiceHost for the CalculatorService type and
// provide the base address.
serviceHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(CalculatorService));
// Open the ServiceHostBase to create listeners and start
// listening for messages.
serviceHost.Open();
}
protected override void OnStop()
{
if (serviceHost != null)
{
serviceHost.Close();
serviceHost = null;
}
}
}
// Provide the ProjectInstaller class which allows
// the service to be installed by the Installutil.exe tool
[RunInstaller(true)]
public class ProjectInstaller : Installer

Make sure IIS
is configured to use Windows Process Activation Service(WAS)
:
Programs and Features
.Turn Windows Features on or off
.Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0(or 3.5)
node and check the
Windows Communication Foundation Non-HTTP Activation feature
.Make sure Net.Pipe Listener Adapter service is running:
run
& open Services.msc
Net.Pipe Listener Adapter
service is running.In your App.config, you have used baseAddress
with http
, try changing that to net.pipe
:
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="net.pipe://localhost/ServiceModelSamples/service"/>
</baseAddresses>
see NetNamedPipeBinding for more details.
Update:
You need to add bindingConfiguration
in endpoint
like :
<endpoint address=""
binding="netNamedPipeBinding"
contract="Microsoft.ServiceModel.Samples.ICalculator"
bindingConfiguration="Binding1" />
and add actual bindingConfiguration
like:
<bindings>
<!--
Following is the expanded configuration section for a NetNamedPipeBinding.
Each property is configured with the default value.
-->
<netNamedPipeBinding>
<binding name="Binding1"
closeTimeout="00:01:00"
openTimeout="00:01:00"
receiveTimeout="00:10:00"
sendTimeout="00:01:00"
transactionFlow="false"
transferMode="Buffered"
transactionProtocol="OleTransactions"
hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
maxBufferPoolSize="524288"
maxBufferSize="65536"
maxConnections="10"
maxReceivedMessageSize="65536">
<security mode="Transport">
<transport protectionLevel="EncryptAndSign" />
</security>
</binding>
</netNamedPipeBinding>
</bindings>
I had the same error pop up. I was running from Visual Studio 2013, on windows 8.1. The solution for me was to run Visual Studio as an Administrator.
