app.config Xamarin pcl - binding

Question

I need to add some tag in a app.config file for implement a dll (xmlsoccer).
I have to add something like
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
in a configuration node, but I don't know where it is.
I tried to create an app.config file and set DotNetConfig.xsd as scheme, but during compile, I have this errors:
WARNING: failed to load endpoint configuration for *
SyStem.InvalidOperationException: A Binding must be configured for this channel factory
can anyone help me?
I tried to write this:
` public class MainActivity : FormsApplicationActivity
{
public static readonly EndpointAddress EndPoint = new EndpointAddress("http://www.xmlsoccer.com/FootballDataDemo.asmx");
App application;
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
{
base.OnCreate(bundle);
global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(this, bundle);
// LoadApplication(new App(binding, EndPoint));
CreateBasicHttp();
LoadApplication(application);
}
private void CreateBasicHttp()
{
var binding = new BasicHttpBinding()
{
Name = "basicHttpBinding",
MaxReceivedMessageSize = 1000000,
};
binding.ReaderQuotas = new System.Xml.XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas()
{
MaxArrayLength = 2147483646,
MaxStringContentLength = 5242880,
};
var timeout = new TimeSpan(0, 1, 0);
binding.SendTimeout = timeout;
binding.OpenTimeout = timeout;
binding.ReceiveTimeout = timeout;
application = new App(binding, new EndpointAddress("http://www.xmlsoccer.com/FootballDataDemo.asmx"));
}`
in my MainActivity.cs, but obviously it isn't enough.

Take a look here:
https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/19303/how-to-consume-wcf-service-in-xamarin-forms-pcl
Steps:
1.- Opening a command prompt in Windows and using the SLSvcUtil.exe tool
from the Silverlight SDK to generate a proxy from a WSDL file. slsvcutil http://www.yourserver.com/WebServices/YourServiceSoapClient.asmx?WSDL /out:YourService.cs That utility is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v5.0\Tools\ on my computer.
2.- Adding the resulting YourService.cs file to my project.
3.- Adding the following code to access the service:
// Create the WCF client (created using SLSvcUtil.exe on Windows)
YourServiceSoapClient client = new YourServiceSoapClient(
new BasicHttpBinding(),
new EndpointAddress("hhttp://www.yourserver.com/WebServices/YourServiceSoapClient.asmx"));
// Call the proxy - this should use the async versions
client.ServiceFunctionCompleted += OnGotResult;
client.ServiceFunctionAsync(parameter);
And the OnGotResult function:
void OnGotResult(object sender, ServiceFunctionCompletedEventArgs e)
{
Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(async () => {
string error = null;
if (e.Error != null)
error = e.Error.Message;
else if (e.Cancelled)
error = "Cancelled";
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(error))
{
await DisplayAlert("Error", error, "OK", "Cancel");
}
else
{
resultsLabel.Text = e.Result;
}
});
}
