I am using WCF service in a web application. Two services are and one method which returns string is there in first and returns a DataTable in second First one is working properly while i am calling through the service. But while calling second one i get the following exception

Here is the config in server

  <service behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior" name="RmtUsers.Menu">
    <endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="IRmtUsers.IMenu">
      <identity>
        <dns value="192.168.50.35"/>
      </identity>
    </endpoint>
    <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
  </service>

  <service behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior" name="RmtUsers.Product">
    <endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="IRmtUsers.IProduct">
      <identity>
        <dns value="192.168.50.35"/>
      </identity>
    </endpoint>
    <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
  </service>
          </services>
      <behaviors>             <serviceBehaviors>
          <behavior name="ServiceBehavior">
              <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
              <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>
          </behavior>             </serviceBehaviors>         </behaviors>    </system.serviceModel>

Answer 1

Try following.

1 - Use SvcTraceViewer utility to trace the cause of the issue. 2 - Give some name to the datatable that you are returning from WCF like this.

new DataTable("someName");

WCF: DataTable was not initialized with a name. Note sure why..

Answer 2

I tried using the following code. Now its working fine

   DataTable dt = new DataTable("products");
     dt= getData();  
     DataSet ds = new DataSet();
     ds.Tables.Add(dt);
     return ds.Tables[0];
