The CustomBinding on the ServiceEndpoint with contract 'IService1' lacks a TransportBindingElement error when trying to access wcf service

Question

I am trying to access WCF service. But its giving me following error:

The CustomBinding on the ServiceEndpoint with contract 'IService1' lacks a TransportBindingElement. Every binding must have at least one binding element that derives from TransportBindingElement.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.InvalidOperationException: The CustomBinding on the ServiceEndpoint with contract 'IService1' lacks a TransportBindingElement. Every binding must have at least one binding element that derives from TransportBindingElement.

Following is my service model full config:

As you can see it already has the Transport Element. But still I am getting above error. What is the reason?

My Client Config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <system.serviceModel>

    <bindings>
      <wsHttpBinding>
        <binding name="CustomBinding_IService1" />
      </wsHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <client>
      <endpoint address="http://subdomain.domain.com/service1.svc" binding="wsHttpBinding"
        bindingConfiguration="CustomBinding_IService1" contract="ServiceReference1.IService1"
        name="CustomBinding_IService1">
        <identity>
          <userPrincipalName value="DOMAIN\subdomaindomaincom_web" />
        </identity>
      </endpoint>
    </client>
  </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

Man, I advice you not to do like that. If you use Custom binding on your server, you should use it in your client also. If you use WSHttp on client, your server should have the same binding enpoint. I doubt that you need to create custom binding in your case. In 90% of cases the standart WCF binding would be enought to make a proper solution. Don't develop a new bicycle. As for your second problem, suppose it is the reason of using WSSecurity11WSTrustFebruary2005WSSecureConversationFebruary2005WSSecurityPolicy11BasicSecurityProfile10 in your custom binding, which requires to use certificate for security purposes. Anyway I recommend you to change the custom binding with the WSHttp
