Hi Experts,

I am in a trouble since yesterday, I have a Plugin from which i am trying to call a Service Method of a WCF service. But i am facing this error:

Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'ServiceReference1.IAccount' 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.'

This is how my app.config of Client (Plugin) looks like,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IAccount" />
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="http://someipadress:xy/CRMService.svc"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IAccount"
contract="IAccount" name="BasicHttpBinding_IAccount" />
</client>

</system.serviceModel>

</configuration>

Thanks Ravi,

This approach works, i read this on a similar thread code.msdn.microsoft.com/How-to-call-External-WCF-42c4490d,

however in this thread instead of using client, channel is used.

Thanks a lot!!

Hi Prem,

The configuration is not accessible within a plugin. You need to add this configuration programmatically

Check this blog which has the complete explanation on why and how to-

Hope this helps.
