ColdFushion calling C# WCF basicHttpBinding not talking

Question

I am a C# developer that has never done a web service and new to ColdFushion. When I test the service it is great, but I cannot get to the method when I call it in CF. I get the home page, or my latest error says "Cannot perform web service invocation
GetEmailsFor".
Help please.
My web service app.config has ...
My app.config has this... <services>
<service name="WCF.GetService">
<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="WCF.IGetService">
<identity>
<dns value="localhost" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
<!--<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />-->
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="WCF.IGetService" />
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<!--<add baseAddress="http://localhost:8733/Design_Time_Addresses/WCF.GetService.svc" />-->
<add baseAddress="http://dev-wcf/sideswebservice/WCF.GetService.svc" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior>
<!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information,
set the values below to false before deployment -->
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="True" httpsGetEnabled="False" />
<!-- 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>
My interface has this... [ServiceContract()]
public interface IGetService
[OperationContract(Name = "GetEmailsFor")]
//[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method="GET",ResponseFormat=WebMessageFormat.Xml, BodyStyle=WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped, UriTemplate="xml/{bin}/{population}")]
//[WebGet]
List<EmailRecord> GetEmailsFor(string bin, Int32 population);
//List<EmailRecord> GetEmailsFor(string bin, string population);
My ColdFushion has this...
<cfinvoke webservice = "http://dev-wcf/sideswebservice/WCF.GetService.svc?singleWsdl"
method = "GetEmailsFor"
refreshwsdl="yes" <!--- temp --->
returnVariable = "httpResponse">
<cfinvokeargument name="bin" value="0000210883"/>
<cfinvokeargument name="population" value=0/>
</cfinvoke>
I cannot get them to talk. Only errors.
I did try making it restful (webHttpBinding), but it would only allow me to return an int or void so I switched. I have seen things that say rpc would work but do not know exactly what to switch to do that.

Hi Sharlie50,
>>When I test the service it is great, but I cannot get to the method when I call it in CF
Based on your description, I know that your WCF Service works great, but it can not be called in
ColdFushion. Could you please try to use a Console application to do a test to see if it works. If it does not work in a Console application, please try to post a detailed error information in here. If it works in a Console
application, it seems that there is something wrong with the
ColdFushion client, then please try to refer to the following articles about how to consume web services in ColdFishion:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec22c24-78b4.html.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18924162/can-someone-tell-me-if-colfusion-8-can-consume-a-wcf-service.
Besides, since the WCF Services works great and the ColdFishion is out of our forum support scope, so it will be better if you try to post your question in ColdFishion Forum for better support:

Thanks for your understanding.
