"Unrecognized message version" while calling SAP PI endpoint from .NET

I am using an webserviceinvoking class to call SAP PI from a .NET with C# Service.

I am using the following method to do this:

public object InvokeMethod(string serviceName, string methodName, params object[] args)
{
    System.ServiceModel.Channels.Binding defaultBinding = new BasicHttpBinding(BasicHttpSecurityMode.None);
    if (this.credentials != null)
    {
        ((BasicHttpBinding)defaultBinding).Security.Mode = BasicHttpSecurityMode.TransportCredentialOnly;
        ((BasicHttpBinding)defaultBinding).Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.Basic; //.Ntlm;
    }

    object obj = this.webServiceAssembly.CreateInstance(serviceName, false, BindingFlags.CreateInstance, null, new object[] { defaultBinding, new EndpointAddress(this.webServiceUri.ToString()) }, null, null);

    Type type = obj.GetType();

    if (this.credentials != null)
    {
        PropertyInfo piClientCreds = type.GetProperty("ClientCredentials");
        ClientCredentials creds = (ClientCredentials)piClientCreds.GetValue(obj, null);
        creds.UserName.UserName = this.credentials.UserName;
        creds.UserName.Password = this.credentials.Password;
    }

    return type.InvokeMember(methodName, BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, obj, args);
}

However calling it gives me an Unrecognized message version. exception:

{System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException: Unrecognized message version.

Wireshark XML output to webservice:

            <name xmlns="">Test CRM2SAP16</name>
        </MT_Sync_CRMAccount_request>
    </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

Any help is much appreciated.

SAP Pi seems to have two URL's. One for the WSDL and the other for the call. The default binding has to be changed in order to get it working to the service url defined in the port list from the WSDL.

object obj = this.webServiceAssembly.CreateInstance(
               serviceName, 
               false, 
               BindingFlags.CreateInstance, 
               null, 
               new object[] { 
                              defaultBinding, 
                              new EndpointAddress(this.webServiceUri.ToString()) 
                            }, 
               null,  
               null);
