Error in Consuming WCF service

I'm trying to consume a wcf service from a client application. The WCF services is hosted in web. After i add the service reference to the project, all the proxy gets generated.

when I'm trying to access the proxy class methods., I'm getting the below error:

An endpoint configuration section for contract 'XService.XServicePortType' could not be loaded because more than one endpoint configuration for that contract was found. Please indicate the preferred endpoint configuration section by name.

In app.config, i removed custom binding end points. I have just one http end point.

<system.serviceModel>
  <bindings>
    <basicHttpBinding> xxxxxxx </basicHttpBinding>
  </bindings>
  <client>
    <endpoint address="x" 
              binding="basicHttpBinding" 
              bindingConfiguration="xServiceSoap11Binding" 
              contract="xServicePortType" 
              name="xHttpSoap11Endpoint" />
    <endpoint address="y" 
              binding="basicHttpBinding" 
              bindingConfiguration="ySoap11Binding" 
              contract="yServicePortType" 
              name="yHttpSoap11Endpoint" />
  </client>
</system.serviceModel>

Fails at line:

XServicePortTypeClient buService = new XServicePortTypeClient();

The code for XServicePortType is auto generated.

An endpoint configuration section for contract 'XService.XServicePortType' could not be loaded because more than one endpoint configuration for that contract was found. Please indicate the preferred endpoint configuration section by name.

Include the assembly name with your contract in the bindings. Also, XML is case sensitive so xServicePortType is not the same as XServicePortType.

<system.serviceModel>
  <bindings>
    <basicHttpBinding> xxxxxxx </basicHttpBinding>
  </bindings>
  <client>
    <endpoint address="x" 
              binding="basicHttpBinding" 
              bindingConfiguration="xServiceSoap11Binding" 
              contract="XService.XServicePortType" 
              name="xHttpSoap11Endpoint" />
    <endpoint address="y" 
              binding="basicHttpBinding" 
              bindingConfiguration="ySoap11Binding" 
              contract="YService.YServicePortType" 
              name="yHttpSoap11Endpoint" />
  </client>
</system.serviceModel>
