Here is my scenario..

I have created a BDC model project in VS2010 for deployment in SharePoint2010. I have added a service reference to a WCF service that we have running on another system. I want my ReadList method to call the WCF service on the other system to pull data to be shown in the list.

I have created a unit test for the ReadList method to verify it works before deploying. The error message that I get is "Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'TicketsWCF.ITickets' in the ServiceModel client configuration section."

When I add the service reference an app.config is added to the project which appears to have everything that I need for the service to run.

My two questions are

  1. Has anyone gotten a WCF service to a non-sharepoint external system working with BDC

  2. When the model is deployed will the app.config settings get appropriately placed within the sharepoint system?

If you are creating a BDC model project in VS2010 you are probably using a BDC .NET Assembly Connector. Can you confirm this is your setup BDC -> .NET Assembly Connector -> WCF -> External System? I have it working but my setup is BDC -> WCF -> External System. – MLF Jun 7 '11 at 15:25

If you want to create a BDC that uses WCF then use SharePoint Designer to get you started. Here is an example Business Connectivity Services (BCS) Using WCF & SharePoint Designer 2010 – MLF Jun 7 '11 at 17:22
