Wcf web service

Question

I have a WCF web servive which I have hosted on same network PC(not where client application run). When I try to add service reference to client application the following error is raised...

Note: I can access the web service through web browser where client application runs

Microsoft Visual Studio

There was an error downloading 'ipaddress/uploads/TransferService.svc/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/$metadata'.

The request failed with HTTP status 400: Bad Request.

Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: [/ipaddress/uploads/TransferService.svc].

Content Type application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8 was not supported by service ipaddress/uploads/TransferService.svc. The client and service bindings may be mismatched.

The remote server returned an error: (415) Cannot process the message because the content type 'application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8' was not supported by service ipaddress/uploads/TransferService.svc. The client and service bindings may be mismatched. The remote server returned an error: (415) Cannot process the message because the content type 'application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8' was not the expected type 'text/xml; charset=utf-8'.. If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.

Anyone please help in this??

If your target framework is 4.5 or higher, you can try to download service as a single WSDL — just append ?singleWSDL to the URI when requesting metadata from the service.
