Configuration evaluation context not found warning on WCF trace

Question

I have a set of WCF services hosted on a .NET 4 application. I manually create the ServiceHost class and start listening on TCP port. All works as expected but in the WCF trace

Answer 1

Did you take a look at that MSDN blog: Missing Binding Extensions?

The evaluation context not found error (or in traces with the identifier System.ServiceModel.EvaluationContextNotFound) is generally caused by using a configuration element defined in a library that is not included in the application’s configuration as an extension.

Answer 2

My experience is, you have to manually create service with service name and other details under tag.

e.g.

  <system.serviceModel>
      <services>
          <service name="WCF_NameSpace.Service1" behaviorConfiguration="behave">
              <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="bind" contract="WCF_Trace_2.IService1"></endpoint>
          </service>
      </services>
