I hope that I get all the steps correct to explain what I did. In summary I created my on certificates to develop and test a self hosted WCF using SSL.
1) i create the CA
2) I moved that CA to the Certificates Trusted Root Authority
3) I created a self signed certificate from the CA i created
4) I wrote my WCF and Self hosted it.
5) I wrote a console app and added a service reference to service in step 4 and ran the app and it worked! Cool.
6) I wrote and new console app but did not add a service reference. I wrote my own code to call the self hosted WCF but I get a timeout. Below is the code that times out. The error is {"The operation has timed out"}.
my x509 certificate path is to the self signed file that I exported from mmc.
All help with this is greatly appreciated.
