I am new for WCF. I have created a simple wcf service. This service simply fetches data from my another application and returns in the form of dataset. In the same solution I have created a web application as a client to access this wcf service. Now in the
client application I have added a service reference from the solution itselrf and the service runs very well. it returns the data perfectly.
Now the problem occures when I have hosted the service in IIS (IIS 7). Now I have removed the existing service reference (which was from the same solution) and then added a new reference from the hosted service. Now when I run the client web application,
my client did not give any error / exception but did not fetch any data from the service. I am not sure why the service did not return any data after hosting in IIS.
In my client application i have this simple code only.
If you mean host the service in IIS, the simply way is creating a service with WCF Service Application template in Visual Studio, then create a client app to consume the service by "Add Service Reference".
If you mean publish the service to IIS and consume the service from a client, you can refer the steps in a MSDN document below to publish the service.
I have not considered it yet, but when I have tried with a simple method which returns true / false, I can call this method successfully and it returns the correct data as specified in the service.
Now the question remains that what happens to the dataset, which I am trying to return from the prior method?
Any clue guys?

WCF service not working after hosting in IIS
Feb 20, 2013 02:33 AM|LINK
Hi Friends,
I am new for WCF. I have created a simple wcf service. This service simply fetches data from my another application and returns in the form of dataset. In the same solution I have created a web application as a client to access this wcf service. Now in the client application I have added a service reference from the solution itselrf and the service runs very well. it returns the data perfectly.
Now the problem occures when I have hosted the service in IIS (IIS 7). Now I have removed the existing service reference (which was from the same solution) and then added a new reference from the hosted service. Now when I run the client web application, my client did not give any error / exception but did not fetch any data from the service. I am not sure why the service did not return any data after hosting in IIS.
In my client application i have this simple code only.
Service1Client serCli = new Service1Client();
serCli.PerformInit("SAMPLE", "SAMPLE", "SAMPLE", "SAMPLE");
DataSet ds = serCli.GetData("Param1", "Param2", "Param3");
GridView1.DataSource = ds;
I am excpecting data in ds. Please let me know the probable issue or solution. Let me know if more info is required regarding this issue.

I have already done all the settings, and while accessing the service I am not getting any error/exception
but my client is not getting any data from the service.

Hi,

If you mean publish the service to IIS and consume the service from a client, you can refer the steps in a MSDN document below to publish the service.
#WCF Service Publishing

If you have published the service to IIS, can you call other functions( except the one used to return data) properly?

From the description it is evident that the service is SOAP based one.
