Posted on by Community Member

I'm trying to use the service in a .Net application but I get the following error as soon as I'm trying to create a new client connection with

Dim client As AxMetadataServiceClient = New AxMetadataServiceClient()

An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.ServiceModel.dll

Additional information: Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'MetaDataServiceReference.IAxMetadataService' in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the client element.

So I probably missed something but I have no idea what.

any help would be appriciated

PS.

I followed this example

The message tells you what may be wrong: "This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the client."

If you didn't follow the advice, please do it now and check whether you have a configuration file with valid configuration. If you did it, please tell us what you've found.

with configuration file do you mean the app.config ?

Sorry but I have very little knowledge about ax.

I just need some metadata info from ax,

I found this link msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg839793.aspx

and just followed it's example, didn't mention anything about a configuration file :-)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<configuration>

<system.diagnostics>

<sources>



<source name="DefaultSource" switchName="DefaultSwitch">

<listeners>

<add name="FileLog"/>





</listeners>

</source>

</sources>

<switches>

<add name="DefaultSwitch" value="Information" />

</switches>

<sharedListeners>

<add name="FileLog"

type="Microsoft.VisualBasic.Logging.FileLogTraceListener, Microsoft.VisualBasic, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a, processorArchitecture=MSIL"

initializeData="FileLogWriter"/>





</sharedListeners>

</system.diagnostics>

<system.serviceModel>

<bindings>

<netTcpBinding>

<binding name="MetadataServiceEndpoint" />

</netTcpBinding>

</bindings>

<client>

<endpoint address="net.tcp://haraxr3aosvs01:8201/DynamicsAx/Services/MetadataService"

binding="netTcpBinding" bindingConfiguration="MetadataServiceEndpoint"

contract="MetaDataServiceReference.IAxMetadataService" name="MetadataServiceEndpoint">

<identity>

<userPrincipalName value="svcservicehar@geldof.be" />

</identity>

</endpoint>

</client>

</system.serviceModel>

</configuration>

Yes, it would be app.config if you followed the walkthrough and created a console application (you obviously didn't use the same language as in the walkthrough).

It has completely nothing to do with Dynamics AX at all - we're talking about a .NET application, .NET configuration file and WCF configuration.

You really should learn basics of what you're trying to do. That you know nothing isn't an excuse - it's a problem you should fix. Fortunately you'll find plenty of resource regarding .NET architecture and development and WCF.

Please try to follow the walkthrough exactly and check if it works. Or at least tell us what exactly you did.

I don't know. To be honest, I don't use Visual Basic at all, so I have no idea whether it has some "feature" that may be responsible.

Are you sure that the only difference is in the language? If you try to make one more app in VB.NET using the same steps as in C#, will it fail? (Maybe your original app got corrupted in some way.)
