Unable to call web services

I have been received physical WSDL file to be used inside my C# Windows service project.

i replaced the file inside project folder and added from "Add Service Reference"

it was added to the project & i managed to create client object and call its classes but when i run the service the below error raised

    Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'ABRECONService.ServiceIF' in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the client element.

Yes , As you said the the base address is pinpointing to the address in other LAN that is the reason you are not able to connect to it.

Simply creating the service classes from the WSDL file is not enough. You need to add information to your client's configuration file (app.config) that indicates how to access the service.

Instead of creating your service reference from the given WSDL file, you could try to directly point the service reference dialog to http://localhost:8732/Design_Time_Addresses/ABRECON/Main/ (the address of the MEX profile). Make sure the service is running.

That will add respective configuration entries automatically to your app.config if everything goes right.
