WcfTestClient: The contract 'IMetadataExchange' error
I created WCF service application there are no errors until I run WcfTestClient. It requires IMetadataExchange to be configured.
How to configure IMetadataExchange or avoid of its usage?
Error:
--------------------------- Microsoft WCF Test Client
--------------------------- The contract 'IMetadataExchange' in client configuration does not match the name in service contract, or there is no valid method in this contract. To recover, please manually correct client configuration.Or restore to default configuration.
Or check "Always regenerate config when launching services" in the Tools -> Options menu, then refresh the service.

Answer
This here in your configuration is definitely wrong:
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="WcfCrmService.IPermitTypesService" />
A MEX endpoint for metadata exchange must have the WCF built-in contract IMetadataExchange and not your own service contract.
Try using this:
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
Does this work now?? The WCF Test Client would use the MEX endpoint to learn about your service - if you had a wrong service contract in there, the Test Client certainly wouldn't work....
Update: your choice of a base address also is a bit strange:
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="http://localhost:8732/Design_Time_Addresses/WcfCrmService/Mex/" />
</baseAddresses>
This mean: your actual service is reachable at:
http://localhost:8732/Design_Time_Addresses/WcfCrmService/Mex/
while your MEX endpoint is reached at:
http://localhost:8732/Design_Time_Addresses/WcfCrmService/Mex/mex/
I would recommend using a better/more meaningful base address for the service and just add mex to the end of the MEX endpoint:
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="http://localhost:8732/Services/WcfCrmService/" />
</baseAddresses>
