We have several tasks we set up to hit some WCF services we have hosted through IIS, so using httpbinding. For several months now, we've been dealing with an issue where we can only interact with these services if we enumerate the methods as "Web Service" as opposed to "WCF".

For most tasks that isn't an issue. Now, I have a service method that works correctly when I call it from wcftestclient or WCFStorm, but when I try to call the service from Visualcron, it fails with "Exception in Task: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

I'm trying to eliminate some kind of configuration error and would like VisualCron to enumerate using WCF as opposed to classic Web Service, but I suspect something not quite right in our configuration that is causing Visualcron not to enumerate the types and methods.

Has anyone run into similar issues or have some tips?

That is the build we are currently running, since we ran into the issue of WCF/Web Services not working at all on 7.1.1.

Hi byutvadmin,

I want to add that I build a WCF service myself, but I have to use the Web Service discover mode to see my methods.

Well, that's making me think it's not a config problem in my WCF services and instead something to do with VisualCron...

I believe that you need to expose the web service like described here:

httpGetEnabled="true

We already have httpGetEnabled="true" set on these services.

Yup. We've had that configured from the beginning, as well.

Is it possible that you could send a sample WCF project where you have mexbinding and httpGetEnabled - something very simple to reproduce. Please send it to support@visualcron.com.

Hi Henrik,

I made my WCF with a default WCF project from VS2010. The methods of this default WCF do not show in VC.

As resolved through email you need to specify the ?wsdl address. New version will attempt to auto-discover that.
