Hi,
Pretty new to WCF. Till now I've simply created functions in a service which I called from silverlight. I created no formal contracts which seem the norm..
In this case I needed to pass a stream containing an image to a function in my service. I got an error telling me that functions that use streams can only have one parameter: the stream. That was unless I used a message contract. So I followed the code examples, created the message contract so I could pass in a number of parameters to my function. To make things less confusing I put the functionality to handle images into it's own service. So all we have is two functions, a messagecontract and an interface with an operation contract attribute above the functions.
To test the health of the service I viewed it in the browser and was told that
ContractDescription 'MYServerice' has zero operations; a contract must have at least one operation.
After looking at MANY web posts to solve this I eventually commented out code and brought it down to it's bare essentials. I still get the "zero operations" error when I view in browser:
Here is the bare bones code with only the structural elements (this code gives an error saying that not all paths return data-I've removed the actual code but this should give you a good idea of what I've done.). Oddly if I put in a test function declaration at the top of the code (not embedded in an interface) and put operationcontract above it, the "zero operations" error goes away.
Any help would be appreciated.
