Usando il Windows Azure Service Bus con .NET 4.0 potreste incorrere in questo errore:

Configuration binding extension 'system.serviceModel/bindings/netTcpRelayBinding' could not be found.

Il messaggio completo è il seguente:

Configuration binding extension 'system.serviceModel/bindings/netTcpRelayBinding' could not be found. Verify that this binding extension is properly registered in system.serviceModel/extensions/bindingExtensions and that it is spelled correctly. (c:\users\gdimauro\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\CloudService4\EchoService\bin\Debug\EchoService.vshost.exe.Config line 5)

Come risolverlo ? Semplicemente aggiungendo le parti evidenziate di seguito nel file “C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config” :
