wcf service are not working in self network

Question

I am new to WCF. I have a WCF Service application created in VS 2012.

When I execute it from VS, it runs and shows the service running in the browser.

I now want to create a client to test the service. How can I do this?

Service code as follows:

public class CallList : ICallList
{
    public String List(String id,String name)
    {            
        String Message;

        SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=CallList;Integrated Security=True");//Data Source=ANDROID-PC\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=CallList;Integrated Security=True
        con.Open();
        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("insert into CallLog(id,name) values(@id,@name)", con);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@id", id);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@name", name);

        int result = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

        if (result == 1)
        {
            Message =  " Details inserted successfully";
        }
        else
        {
            Message = " Details not inserted successfully";
        }

        con.Close();

        return Message;           
    }
}

Please can someone help me with how to test this service.

Answer 1

First of all I don't see any service Implementation in your code.but Here is a simple article I wrote while ago. it contain how to create WCF service and test it using WCF Test client. another way to test your application is

1. Create a Console Application Project.
2. Copy service URL from the browser and then right click on project and select add service reference and then paste the URL you copied.

3. Then add your code as below. in your program.cs class

   ICalculatorClient calcClient = new CalculatorClient());
   int value1 = 100;
   int value2 = 15;
   double result = calcClient.Addition(value1, value2);
   Console.WriteLine("Addition({0},{1}) = {2}", value1, value2, result);
