Can't Add Service Reference to a Project

Question

I'm Trying to add a service reference to a project that has another references already made. I've Copied the App.Config and Web.configs used in those Projects and adapted them to the service that I want to add. I also copied and adapted the contract and I believe I've done it well.

So my question is: What do you think that I possibly did wrong or common mistakes while adding a service reference or equally helpful where and how can I troubleshoot the problem about the error of adding a service reference to a project with mex endpoint?

The Error

Error Detailed

Aditional Info:

The contract as only one operation("start").

The connection is being made through net.tcp.

The Service and the Object are diferent projects.

The Object has an App.Config and the Service a Web.Config

UPDATE

Service Web.Config

Answer 1

This error was caused by miss configuration of the file *.svc and a miss configuration in IIS

File Miss Configuration

Wrong

<%@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="Service" %>

Correct

<%@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="<Namespace>.<Class used in the Service>" %>

IIS MissConfiguration

Wrong

in the application deployed in the IIS, in Advanced Settings, I Had http in the enabled protocols

Correct

in the application deployed in the IIS, in Advanced Settings, I changed to net.tcp in the enabled protocols

try to add behaviorConfiguration to service:
