Hi,

I wan to call method in Webservice which i have reference in my plugins project file and used proxy class to call it. But when I try to test it.

WebserviceCould not find default endpoint element that references contract 'ServiceRef1.IService' 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. at System.ServiceModel.Description.ConfigLoader.LoadChannelBehaviors(ServiceEndpoint serviceEndpoint, String configurationName)
at System.ServiceModel.ChannelFactory.ApplyConfiguration(String configurationName, Configuration configuration)
at System.ServiceModel.ChannelFactory.InitializeEndpoint(String

Please help...

Hi,

basically, you have to configure everything in code:

docs.microsoft.com/.../configuring-wcf-services-in-code

You can't use configuration files with plugins

You can call a web service, you just cannot use a configuration file.. so, whatever settings you have there, you'll need to configure them in the plugin code instead.

Here is a better example:

It sounds like you've created a service reference, and Visual Studio puts configuration data into the app.config file. However, the app.config is owned by the process, and plugins run within one of the CRM processes, rather than it's own process, so the configuration data will be missing. There are 2 main approaches you could take:

If it's On-Premise, then you could modify the .config file for the respective CRM process (this could be the w3wp process, or sandbox, or async service, depending how the plugin runs)

Programmatically build the config information, rather than read it from the .config file. This is definitely possible, but there's a lot of detail to work through

I tried following with the link provided. But I got another issue with

There was no endpoint listening at inte.ind.com/Service.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.

Server stack trace:
