Calling duplex wcf service method from uwp have no effect

I am developing an UWP application which consumes wcf duplex service made by myself. The problem occurs when I try to call a method from service, literally method does not firing up and no breakpoint in service code is hitted.
This is my configuration in host application
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="WcfService.Services.ImageExchangeService" behaviorConfiguration="behaviorConfig">
<endpoint address="net.tcp://localhost:4322/WcfService/Services/ImageExchangeService/tcp" binding="netTcpBinding" contract="WcfService.Services.IImageExchangeService" bindingConfiguration="tcpBinding"></endpoint>
<endpoint address="net.tcp://localhost:4323/WcfService/Services/ImageExchangeService/mex" binding="mexTcpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="http://localhost:4321/WcfService/Services/ImageExchangeService" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="behaviorConfig">
<!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information,
set the values below to false before deployment -->
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="True" httpsGetEnabled="True"/>
<!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes,
set the value below to true. Set to false before deployment
to avoid disclosing exception information -->
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="False" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<bindings>
<netTcpBinding>
<binding name="tcpBinding">
<security mode="None"></security>
<reliableSession enabled="true"/>
</binding>
</netTcpBinding>
</bindings>
</system.serviceModel>
This is my service interface
[ServiceContract(CallbackContract = typeof(IImageExchangeClient), SessionMode =SessionMode.Required)]
public interface IImageExchangeService
{
[OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)]
void Connect(string deviceIdentifier);
}
This is my implementation of above interface
[ServiceBehavior(ConcurrencyMode = ConcurrencyMode.Single, IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults =true)]
public class ImageExchangeService : IImageExchangeService
{
private Dictionary<string, IImageExchangeClient> _connectedDevices = new Dictionary<string, IImageExchangeClient>();
public void Connect(string deviceIdentifier)
{
var connection = OperationContext.Current.GetCallbackChannel<IImageExchangeClient>();
if (!_connectedDevices.ContainsKey(deviceIdentifier))
{
_connectedDevices.Add(deviceIdentifier, connection);
}
else
{
_connectedDevices[deviceIdentifier] = connection;
}
Console.WriteLine("\nDevice connected: {0}", deviceIdentifier);
}
}
and finally this is my UWP code where I trying to call Connect method
public async void InitializeImageExchangeClient()
{
var endpoint = new EndpointAddress(new Uri("net.tcp://localhost:4322/WcfService/Services/ImageExchangeService/tcp"));
var InstanceContext = new InstanceContext(new ImageExchangeCallback());
var client = new ImageExchangeService.ImageExchangeServiceClient(buildBinding(), endpoint);
var channelFactory = (DuplexChannelFactory<IImageExchangeService>)(client.ChannelFactory);
var proxy = channelFactory.CreateChannel(InstanceContext);
await proxy.ConnectAsync(DeviceIdentifier);
}
I have also tried other approach of cal this method like:
var client = new ImageExchangeServiceClientBase(InstanceContext, buildBinding(), endpoint);
await client.OpenAsync();
await client.ConnectAsync(DeviceIdentifier);
buildBinding() function looks like this:
private NetTcpBinding buildBinding()
{
var binding = new NetTcpBinding()
{
MaxReceivedMessageSize = int.MaxValue,
MaxBufferPoolSize = int.MaxValue,
ReaderQuotas = new System.Xml.XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas()
{
MaxArrayLength = int.MaxValue,
MaxBytesPerRead = int.MaxValue,
MaxDepth = int.MaxValue,
MaxNameTableCharCount = int.MaxValue,
MaxStringContentLength = int.MaxValue
},
OpenTimeout = TimeSpan.MaxValue,
ReceiveTimeout = TimeSpan.MaxValue,
};
binding.Security.Mode = SecurityMode.None;
binding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = TcpClientCredentialType.None;
binding.Security.Message.ClientCredentialType = MessageCredentialType.None;
return binding;
}
Actual result is the method Connect is not firing up, and when I toggle breakpoint on this method it is not hitted.
Other non-duplex services are working fine without a problem.
When I implemented this service in WPF application the method is calling properly and everything works fine, the problem is when I trying to implement this in UWP architecture.
Thanks for help in advance.

Call a WCF service with a HttpClient

I have to call a WCF service. The WCF service is on and I can edit its configuration.
I want to create a client that calls the service. I cannot add the service reference to my client, so I am trying to call it with a HttpClient.
The client side code:
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
//soapString is my input class serialized
var content = new StringContent(soapString, Encoding.UTF8, "text/xml");
using (var postResponse = client.PostAsync("http://localhost:52937/Attempts.svc/", content).Result)
{
string postResult = postResponse.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
}
}
The server side code:
[ServiceContract]
public interface IAttempts
{
[OperationContract]
void ReceiveAttemptResult(ReceiveAttemptResultInput result);
}
public class Attempts : IAttempts
{
string _backendUrl;
public void ReceiveAttemptResult(ReceiveAttemptResultInput result)
{
//...
}
}
And in the end the web.config server side:
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="it.MC.Listeners.Attempts">
<endpoint address="" contract="it.MC.Listeners.IAttempts" binding="basicHttpBinding"/>
<endpoint address="mex" contract="IMetadataExchange" binding="mexHttpBinding"/>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
When I call the service, I just obtain an empty string and I cannot stop in debug inside the service... What's wrong?
Thank you

Just in case this bedevils anyone else. Thank you #Disappointed for your missing piece of the puzzle, it prompted me to run the thing in WCF Test Client with Fiddler open to see what I was missing:
HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("SOAPAction", "http://tempuri.org/IMyService/Mymethod_Async");
string soapEnvelope = "<s:Envelope xmlns:s= \"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\"><s:Body><Mymethod_Async xmlns=\"http://tempuri.org/\"/></s:Body></s:Envelope>";
var content = new StringContent(soapEnvelope, Encoding.UTF8, "text/xml");
HttpResponseMessage hrm = httpClient.PostAsync("http://MyService.MyDomain.com/MyService.svc", content).Result;

Difficulty invoking WCF POST service running on localhost in a test project in same solution as service

I am having trouble developing and testing a POST web service which both receives and returns JSON.
I am testing it (or trying/wanting to test it) by calling it from a form in a test project within the same
solution as the web service. However it seems that no matter what I do, I'm getting either a "Bad Request", or
a "Not Found" error when invoking the service.
There are oodles of posts on the web in relation to these things, and WCF in general, with examples etc, but I
cannot seem to solve the problem and it's quite disheartening :-((.
I am using VS 2010 on (don't laugh) win XP. However I don't see why an outdated OS should matter.
The single method's signature is
public Stream ReceiveCardStatusInfo(Stream request)
I have generated a proxy via svcutil, but I'm not using it. I have tried referencing the webservice project as
both an ordinary and a service reference (currently a service reference). The properties of the projects are
pretty much the defaults, but in trying to resolve the issues, the web page of the WS project currently shows
"Use Visual Studio Development Server" with "Specific Port" selected, port number 1318. (Virtual Path is the
default "/").
As I'm not really sure exactly what the problem is, I am providing all my code and config files;
the Form's logic first (used to invoke the service) and the app.config for that project, with the service
components following:
Form1:
public Form1() {
InitializeComponent();
}
public void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://localhost:1318/ReceiveData.svc/ReceiveCardStatusInfo"); // /ReceiveCardStatusInfo
request.ContentType = "text/json";
request.Method = "POST";
string json = new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(new {
AuthenticationToken = "...",
Campus = "Te Awamutu",
StudentID = "200122327",
EnrolmentEndDate = "11/06/2015",
CardStatus = "Suspended",
SuspendedDate = "18/08/2014",
OrderedDate = "20/09/2014",
ReprintDate = "07/10/2014"
});
using (var sW = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream())) {
sW.Write(json);
sW.Flush();
sW.Close();
}
var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
string result;
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())) {
result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}
MessageBox.Show(result);
}
app.config (I don't really understand exactly what needs to be in this file, but I've had trouble finding a
clear answer to this, so it contains what it does):

Very first requirement to consume any service is that “Service is Up and Running on Service” here in local ISS in your case.
The reason for getting "Bad Request", or a "Not Found" error when invoking the service is possibility that it is not running on server (localhost).
Are you able to view service page from browser by HTTP request of page "ReceiveData.svc" on your endpoints.
If not then you have to make sure that your service is all ready running before you start consuming it.
As you said that you are running it from same solutions, I am sure you are stating multiple application at the same time. I mean that the Service Application and Consuming Application.
If not you can run multiple start up application from same solution by settings in
Go to Solution properties -> Common properties -> Start up Project and select Multiple start up projects.
So now when you run the solution your both application will start and you should be able to use service.
EDIT
I created test application with all your given code..!!
And it gave me same error..!!!!
So I changed;
request.ContentType = "'text/json; charset=utf-8'";
and it worked..!!! ;)
So please try that.
Hope it helps..!!

Why Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.IsAuthenticated is always false?

I have this WCF service and I'm trying to apply authentication and authorization mechanism in it.
It's my first time to do this, what I have is this web.config serviceModel tag for the service:
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="RoleBasedServices.SecureServiceExternal" behaviorConfiguration="externalServiceBehavior">
<endpoint contract="AuthService.IService1" binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="wsHttpUsername" />
</service>
</services>
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="wsHttpUsername">
<security mode="Message">
<message clientCredentialType="UserName" negotiateServiceCredential="false" establishSecurityContext="false" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior>
<!--To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the values below to false before deployment-->
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true"/>
<!--To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true. Set to false before deployment to avoid disclosing exception information-->
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
</behavior>
<behavior name="externalServiceBehavior">
<serviceAuthorization principalPermissionMode="UseAspNetRoles" />
<serviceCredentials>
<userNameAuthentication userNamePasswordValidationMode="MembershipProvider" />
<serviceCertificate findValue="RPKey" x509FindType="FindBySubjectName" storeLocation="LocalMachine" storeName="My"/>
</serviceCredentials>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<protocolMapping>
<add binding="basicHttpsBinding" scheme="https" />
</protocolMapping>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
What I want to do is very simple, I don't know if I need all this tags I'm just trying.
What I want to do is from the client side to add reference for the service and first call the MyLogin:
AuthService.Service1Client s = new AuthService.Service1Client();
s.Login();
Then call the other restricted method and let it be GetData:
s.GetData()
At service side in Login method, and only for test purposes, I'm doing this:
public void Login()
{
Thread.CurrentPrincipal = new GenericPrincipal(new GenericIdentity("Bob"), new[] { "Admin" });
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie("BobUserName", false);
}
An the restricted method will be:
[PrincipalPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, Role = "Admin")]
public void GetData()
{
return "Hello";
}
That all I have in service and client, what I'm missing?
Every time ,in debug, I check Thread.CurrentPrincipal in Login method I found Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.IsAuthenticated equals true but even though when the client calls the GetData() method it's Access Denied.
PS: I'm using console application to do my tests does it make any difference ?
Thanks

Here is a very nice article that could possibly lead to a solution.
The general idea is that you have 2 object for the Principal.
HttpContext.Current.User and Thread.CurrentPrincipal. You are setting the Thread.CurrentPrincipal at the time HttpContext.Current.User is already instantiated and the role of it is left to default. You may want to try something like:
HttpContext.Current.User = new GenericPrincipal(new GenericIdentity("Bob"), new[] { "Admin" });

The reason calls to GetData() are denied is because WCF doesn't know anything about the Forms Authentication cookie that was set during Login().
It doesn't make a difference that you're a using console app. You could try the following approach.
Set the cookie in Login():
var cookie = FormsAuthentication.GetAuthCookie(username, true);
var ticket = FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(cookie.Value);
HttpContext.Current.User = new GenericPrincipal(new FormsIdentity(ticket), null);
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name, true);
Then in your console app:
public static void TestLoginAndGetData()
{
var sharedCookie = string.Empty;
using (var client = new YourClient())
using (new OperationContextScope(client.InnerChannel))
{
client.Login("username", "password");
// get the cookie from the response
HttpResponseMessageProperty response = (HttpResponseMessageProperty)
OperationContext.Current.IncomingMessageProperties[
HttpResponseMessageProperty.Name];
sharedCookie = response.Headers["Set-Cookie"];
// add it to the request
HttpRequestMessageProperty request = new HttpRequestMessageProperty();
request.Headers["Cookie"] = sharedCookie;
OperationContext.Current.OutgoingMessageProperties[
HttpRequestMessageProperty.Name] = request;
var result = client.GetData();
Console.WriteLine(result);
}
}
You might also consider changing the return type of GetData() to string.

Silverlight not sending byte array to WCF service

I have webcam in a silverlight app. I capture the image and convert it to byte array and send to WCF service. Here is the image capture code:
MessageBox.Show("about to capture");
cs.CaptureImageAsync();
cs is the camera source and is configured correctly (as is the imagecapturecompleted event). On image capture completion, this code executes:
MessageBox.Show("Image Caputred");
var img = e.Result.ToImage();
var encoder = new PngEncoder();
Stream stream = img.ToStreamByExtension("png");
byte[] file = null;
if (stream.Length > 512000)
{
img = ExtendedImage.Resize(img, 240, new NearestNeighborResizer());
stream = img.ToStreamByExtension("png");
}
if (stream.Length < 512000)
{
BinaryReader binary = new BinaryReader(stream);
file = binary.ReadBytes((int)stream.Length);
MessageBox.Show("Stream read into file with length: " + file.Length);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("file size too large");
}
MessageBox.Show("Process done");
cs.Stop();
label1.Content = "and answer is : " + file!= null ? file.Length.ToString() : "ERROR";
ServiceReference1.Service1Client obj = new ServiceReference1.Service1Client();
ServiceReference1.ITEM i = new ServiceReference1.ITEM { Image = file };
obj.DoWorkCompleted += new EventHandler<System.ComponentModel.AsyncCompletedEventArgs>(obj_DoWorkCompleted);
obj.DoWorkAsync(i);
This is my web.config in the asp.net project that configures the service:
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name ="AttendanceSystem.IService1" behaviorConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IService1">
<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="AttendanceSystem.IService1"/>
<endpoint contract="IMetadataExchange" binding="mexHttpBinding" address="mex" />
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="BasicHttpBinding_IService1">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"/>
And here is the reference to the service in the silverlight app
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IService1" maxBufferSize="2147483647"
maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647">

</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="http://localhost:48886/Service1.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IService1" contract="ServiceReference1.IService1"
name="default" />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
Fiddler returns the following message on the call to my .svc service file:
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Server: ASP.NET Development Server/10.0.0.0
Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2014 09:17:26 GMT
X-AspNet-Version: 4.0.30319
Cache-Control: private
Content-Length: 0
Connection: Close
So what is going on?
UPDATE: the service seems to be working without error when I pass a smaller byte array (for example BitConverter.GetBytes(123) but fails when the image is sent which is clearly within the max limits)

Try to configure the binding server-side (maxReceivedMessageSize and reader quotas)
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647">
<readerQuotas maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxStringContentLength="2147483647"/>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
