hi all

I would like to know if MVC 4 web API can consume a wcf web service, because I've added a service reference in my MVC 4 web API but I can use it somehow its not finding it.

I am using the Web service to persist data into another database

regards

The short answer to your question is yes. The web api app is just an app, and the WCF clients are just a bunch of objects. From your existing question, it looks like the settings connecting out to the WCF aren't in the web.config properly. Can you provide more info (especially the error message) please?

How did you generate your proxy classes? Did you try to call the WCF service from a dummy method and see if it works?
