problem running visual studio 2005 WCF example

Hello,
I copy pasted the example of visual studio for creating a simple service and
client in c# for WCF.

When I try to run it, I have the line:
Service1Client client = new Service1Client();

it throws the following exception:
Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'IService1'
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.

Here is the config file of the client:
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="WSHttpBinding_IService1"
closeTimeout="00:01:00"
openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00"
sendTimeout="00:01:00"
bypassProxyOnLocal="false" transactionFlow="false"
hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536"
messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8"
useDefaultWebProxy="true"
allowCookies="false">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="32"
maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384"
maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384"
/>
<reliableSession ordered="true"
inactivityTimeout="00:10:00"
enabled="false" />
<security mode="Message">
<transport clientCredentialType="Windows"
proxyCredentialType="None"
realm="" />
<message clientCredentialType="Windows"
negotiateServiceCredential="true"
algorithmSuite="Default"
establishSecurityContext="true" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="http://localhost:8080/service1"
binding="wsHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="WSHttpBinding_IService1"
contract="IService1"
name="WSHttpBinding_IService1">
<identity>
<userPrincipalName value="drors@prosight.com" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

Does anyone know what might be the problem? (The service seems to be fine,
since I can run it. I think the problem is in the client)

I am having a similar problem. The service was working previously.
However, I had changed the namespaces on the service. When I add a
service reference it seems to be drawing from some cache and selecting
"Update Service Reference" does not seem to refresh this cache.

This is my ErrorReportingService.svc file:

<%@ ServiceHost language="c#" Debug="true"
Service="EventService.Services.ErrorReportingService" %>

In my project (HealthMonitoring), I add a reference to the virtual
directory of the .svc file at http://localhost/EventService/ErrorReportingService.svc,
calling it ErrorReporting, which results in the following
ErrorReporting.map file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ServiceReference>
<ProxyGenerationParameters
ServiceReferenceUri="http://localhost/EventService/
ErrorReportingService.svc"
Name="ErrorReporting"
NotifyPropertyChange="False"
UseObservableCollection="False">
</ProxyGenerationParameters>
<EndPoints>
<EndPoint
Address="MyMachineNameHere/EventService/ErrorReportingService.svc"
BindingConfiguration="WSHttpBinding_IErrorReportingService"

Contract="EventService.HealthMonitoring.ErrorReporting.IErrorReportingService"
>
</EndPoint>
</EndPoints>
</ServiceReference>

Why does it add the HealthMonitoring namespace? Shouldn't the contract
reference the ErrorReportingService? This extra namespace is causing a
problem in the generated .cs client. I can go manually erase all the
HealthMonitoring namespaces in the proxy, but that seems to defeat the
point of auto-generating the code.

Since I had this working before, I think the problem was introduced
when I changed the namespaces. Is there a cache problem I'm missing
here? (I have already deleted all temp .asp files in all of their
locations, so I don't think it is those files.)

Thanks

Make sure that the configuration in the app.config file is present in the
*.exe.config file in the directory (debug or release) you are running the
client executable.
