How to Debug WCF Project Using Visual Studio as Non Administrator

When I open Visual Studio 2022 as Admin, I can able to easily run our WCF Project which is having Net Tcp Binding, but when opened VS 2022, as Non Admin and Run this Project, I am getting the below exception.

"'The service endpoint failed to listen on the URI 'net.tcp://localhost:50000/LoginService.svc' because access was denied. Verify that the current user is granted access in the appropriate allowAccounts section of SMSvcHost.exe.config.'"

I tried both the answers given by ChatGpt, i.;e 1. Modified the SMSvcHost.exe.config and added specific user. 2. Reserve the URL for the service.

Both are not working.

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi @Ali basha Syed , 

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

    WCF services requires administrator rights.

    The error message also means that you need elevated privileges to debug the application. 

    I suppose you must run the VS as administrator to run the WCF project. 

    Sincerely,

    Anna
