Answer 1

I encountered this error trying to connect a Silverlight application to a WCF service.

The root cause turned out to be that the WCF Service was bound using wsHttpBinding whereas Silverlight only supports basicHttpBinding.

So check your element in web.config and make sure binding information for your service is in the element and that the element of your service definition uses basicHttpBinding.
