Issues consuming WCF service?

Question

Using VS2010, we deployed a WCF service to our remote server in the same network. We use IIS 7. This project is called WcfService.

Opening my browser locally and entering the http://RemoteServer/Service1.svc/GetSales?Band=Last will return correct json data. So the project works and it's not a firewall issue.

If I set my report to the URL above, the graphs in the report will not be displayed.

During debug of WcfService, if I set the report to the local url (http://localhost:1023/Service1.svc/GetSales?Band=Last) then the graphs in the report are shown correctly.

What can the issue be?

Thanks.

How are you "testing" RemoteServer/Service1.svc/GetSales?Band=Last when you return JSON? Your problem might be CORS related. You can try this Enable CORS

You can debug this in Chrome Debug CORS in Chrome

I'm assuming that it's working because I call the method in a browser, and the "remote version" returns exactly the same string as the "local version". I use the "local version" in my report and all the graphs are being displayed correctly. – fdkgfosfskjdlsjdlkfsf Feb 15 '17 at 18:37
Seeing the Chrome DevTools I just noticed it's a CORS related issue. – fdkgfosfskjdlsjdlkfsf Feb 15 '17 at 19:13
This SO link worked. Thanks. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10760982/could-not-add-access-control-allow-origin-to-my-wcf-library-project – fdkgfosfskjdlsjdlkfsf Feb 15 '17 at 19:13
