Asynchronous WCF calls throws ServiceModel.ActionNotSupportedException - asynchronous

Question

I am writing a WCF client that reads a firmware file, copies it to byte array sends it to the WCF server. The server flashes it to another device connected to it. Both the server and the client are written by me.
I have created a WCF service inline in code without using the service model configuration section in the configuration.xml. Since the server might take a minute to flash, I have implemented the contract as asynchronous so that the client need not wait till the flashing is complete. Both server and client share the same IFirmwareUpgrade interface.
Howver when I run the client and the server, am getting the ServiceModel.ActionNotSupportedException exception. Here is the exception details.
The message with Action 'ServiceContractNS/UpdatorContract/UpgradeFirmware' cannot be processed at the receiver, due to a ContractFilter mismatch at the EndpointDispatcher.This may be because of either a contract mismatch (mismatched Actions between sender and receiver) or a binding/security mismatch between the sender and the receiver. Check that sender and receiver have the same contract and the same binding (including security requirements, e.g. Message, Transport, None).
Here is the Server code
namespace Updator
{
partial class UpdatorWCFService : IUpdator, IFirmwareUpgrade
{
public bool UpgradeFirmware(string deviceIPAddress, byte[] buffer)
{
m_RFM220Manager.UpgradeFirmware(deviceIPAddress, buffer);
return true;
}
public System.IAsyncResult BeginUpgradeFirmware(string DeviceIPAddress, byte[] buffer, System.AsyncCallback callback, object asyncState)
{
Console.WriteLine("BeginServiceAsyncMethod called with: \"{0}\"", DeviceIPAddress);
//Do something
return new CompletedAsyncResult<bool>(true);
}
public bool EndUpgradeFirmware(System.IAsyncResult r)
{
CompletedAsyncResult<bool> result = r as CompletedAsyncResult<bool>;
Console.WriteLine("EndServiceAsyncMethod called with: \"{0}\"", result.Data);
//return result.Data;
return false;
}
}
// Simple async result implementation.
class CompletedAsyncResult<T> : IAsyncResult
{
T data;
public CompletedAsyncResult(T data)
{ this.data = data; }
public T Data
{ get { return data; } }
#region IAsyncResult Members
public object AsyncState
{ get { return (object)data; } }
public WaitHandle AsyncWaitHandle
{ get { throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented."); } }
public bool CompletedSynchronously
{ get { return true; } }
public bool IsCompleted
{ get { return true; } }
#endregion
}
}
This is how created the service
NetTcpBinding binding = new NetTcpBinding();
binding.MaxConnections = (int)m_Configuration.wcftcpchannel.maxconnection;
binding.TransferMode = TransferMode.Buffered;
binding.MaxBufferSize = 20 * 1024 * 1024;
binding.MaxReceivedMessageSize = binding.MaxBufferSize;
binding.ReaderQuotas.MaxArrayLength = 2147483647;
binding.Security.Mode = SecurityMode.None;
binding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = TcpClientCredentialType.None;
binding.Security.Transport.ProtectionLevel = System.Net.Security.ProtectionLevel.None;
binding.Security.Message.ClientCredentialType = MessageCredentialType.None;
// Step 3 of the hosting procedure: Add a service endpoint.
m_UITCPHost.AddServiceEndpoint(
typeof(IUpdator),
binding,
"UpdatorWCFService");
// Step 5 of the hosting procedure: Start (and then stop) the service.
m_UITCPHost.Open(new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, m_Configuration.wcftcpchannel.timeoutinms));
Here is the contract
[ServiceContract(Name = "UpdatorContract", Namespace = "ServiceContractNS", ConfigurationName = "UpdatorContract")]
public interface IFirmwareUpgrade
{
[OperationContract]
bool UpgradeFirmware(string DeviceIPAddress, byte[] buffer);
//[System.ServiceModel.OperationContractAttribute(AsyncPattern = true, Action = "ServiceContractNS/UpdatorContract/UpgradeFirmware", ReplyAction = "ServiceContractNS/UpdatorContract/UpgradeFirmwareResponse")]
[OperationContract(AsyncPattern=true)]
System.IAsyncResult BeginUpgradeFirmware(string DeviceIPAddress, byte[] buffer, System.AsyncCallback callback, object asyncState);
// Note: There is no OperationContractAttribute for the end method.
bool EndUpgradeFirmware(System.IAsyncResult result);
}
This is the configsection in the client
