Hi Shuvojit,

you cannot post to a WCF service using form data in Postman - that's what I said looking at your question.

When you want to use postman, you have to do what postman says about WCF, which I posted in my answer.

Here too on postman website it is mentioned how to test WCF:

You cannot test WCF in postman using form-data submission

as I understand it, WCF works with XML.

so you need to specify in request header that you are sending xml

see an article here:
