"SOAP header Action was not understood."

Question

Guys ,
I am trying to get the UserProfile Details from a SharePoint Server that is configured to use https and NTLM authentication. I am doing this within a Windows Form Application on MS Visual Studio 2010.
I am using the following custom binding:
<customBinding>
<binding name="Service1Binding">
<transactionFlow />
<textMessageEncoding />
<httpsTransport authenticationScheme="Ntlm" />
</binding>
</customBinding>
And as for the end point it is:
<client>
<endpoint address="https://<ServerLocation>/userprofileservice.asmx"
binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="Service1Binding"
contract="UserProfileService.UserProfileServiceSoap"/>
</client>
My code for making the connection is:
UserProfileService.UserProfileServiceSoapClient client = new UserProfileService.UserProfileServiceSoapClient();
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "<UserName>";
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "<Password>";
client.GetUserProfileByName("<User name to serach for>");
I keep getting the exception: "SOAP header Action was not understood"
I am new to WCF and would appreviate if you could point me to the source of the problem.
Thanks
Jamil

Hello, what SOAP version does the service use? Try to configure textMessageEncoding.messageVersion to either Soap11Addressing10 or Soap12Addressing10 to see if the problem is solved.Lante, shanaolanxing This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
