An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
... can be caused by the fact that your WCF service cannot receive more connections at the moment. As a default, a WCF service can receive 10 concurrent (session based) requests. If you are writing an internal WCF service (intranet, not internet) that has more than 10 constant consumers (consumers-with-a-session), you need to configure it accordingly:
In system.serviceModel, add:
<behaviors> <serviceBehaviors> <behavior name="ThrottleBehavior"> <serviceThrottling maxConcurrentCalls="6" maxConcurrentInstances="200" maxConcurrentSessions="200"/> </behavior> </serviceBehaviors> </behaviors>... where maxConcurrentInstances/maxConcurrentSessions are the expected number of clients and maxConcurrentCalls are clients/100. On your service, add the attribute: behaviorConfiguration="ThrottleBehavior" I hope this saves you 6 hours+ google time. Thank you, Cameron Hanchey
