There's documentation that includes a video.

See the red error on the bottom ? Put your mouse cursor over it and check what the message says.

When you encounter an error and ask for help, ALWAYS include the error message.

What are you trying to do? In my opinion and from my experience, the HTTP binding type sucks, especially for a POST. That usually means you're submitting data somewhere - are you sure this needs to happen whenever a binding reevaluates? A GET request would be more common in this scenario (meaning using an HTTP binding).

Can you use an action / event and use the `system.net.httpClient` functions instead?
