In the Configuration File, make some changes as follows:
<behavior name="AFServiceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false" />
<serviceDebug httpHelpPageEnabled="false" />
</behavior>
Initially:
httpHelpPageEnabled - false
httpGetEnabled- false
and then Save Configuration File.
Then Go to your IService Class :
[OperationContract]
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "")]
Message GetMainHelpPage();
Implement the following Code in Service.cs Class:
public Message GetMainHelpPage()
{
string page = @"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC ""-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"" ""http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"">
