WCF December CTP: factories, proxies, yet again.

  • Article

Here's something that I didn't expect. Do people have the same result I do? After the preceding post, I expected this to run correctly, and it doesn't.

      ChannelFactory<ISampleService> factory = new ChannelFactory<ISampleService>();
foreach (ServiceEndpoint point in endpoints)
{
if (point != null)
{
factory.Description.Endpoint.Address = point.Address;
factory.Description.Endpoint.Binding = point.Binding;
serviceChannel = factory.CreateChannel();
Console.WriteLine(
serviceChannel.SampleMethod("Client used the "
+ point.Address.ToString()
+ " address.")
);
}
}
factory.Close();

Instead, this miserable information:

System.ArgumentException was unhandled
Message="The provided URI scheme 'net.tcp' is invalid; expected 'http'.\r\nParameter name: via"
Source="System.ServiceModel"
ParamName="via"

So depressing. The via is not getting reestablished. Hmmm. I'll investigate.
