title: Unable to create WCF channel in portable class library
body: <p>I'm hoping I've just missed something obvious and someone will point it out to me here.</p>
  
  <p>I've created a PCL that contains my WCF service as well as the DTOs that it uses. The idea is to reference this on the server and implement the service, and also reference it on the client and use something like <code>ChannelFactory&lt;T&gt;</code> to create the channels and make the WCF calls.</p>
  
  <p>I can do this without a problem in a standard class library, but the PCL has a limited subset of the classes available, and most of the classes I've tried to use are abstract.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone please help me?
  Thanks</p>
