service-reference

Hint: This questions has many duplicates, but none of the solutions works for me. What I have is a web service and a client, both having references to a shared assembly "DataModel". I'm creating the service proxy using the "Add service reference..." dialog and select "Reuse types in all referenced assemblies", but still it creates new types instead of reusing mine. It used to work, but now suddenly it's not reusing types anymore Referencing the shared assembly before adding the service reference does not work Restarting VS2010 does not help (I have all updates) I tried with a simple POCO class

We have a webservice named, let's say Foo. So there is a Foo.svc file and a code behind Foo.svc.cs. We add a silverlight project and wish to use the Foo.svc services so we add a Service Reference and call it's namespace FooBar. This creates the following files : Reference.cs Reference.svcmap Foo.xsd Foo.disco configuration.svcinfo Foo.wsdl Also various *.datasource files. Over time we update the Foo.svc and add more Web Services (methods and interfaces) and the number of files in the FooBar directory is growing. I have 26 Foo(nn).xsd files in this directory - where nn = 1 to 26. My

What are the .datasource files that are automatically generated by "Create Service Reference" in Visual Studio? The comment in the file is this: This file is automatically generated by Visual Studio .Net. It is used to store generic object data source configuration information.

I'm also wondering if it is truly safe to delete them, since they often cause path length problems on XP. http

I have a Windows Service Solution and am trying to add a service reference to a Hermes(Opensource ebms message server) Web Service in VS2010. I can find the Web Service using it's URL, but when I try and populate the Service reference I get the following errors in Visual Studio: Error 8 Custom tool error: Failed to generate code for the service reference 'testService'. Please check other error and warning messages for details.

I have been creating and consuming web services for years and always have been able to use Visual Studio to create a service reference from the client. I have a third party service I need to work with and they refuse to open their security so I can see the wsdl and make the service reference. It's a public facing service so I don't see the need for that level of security but it is what it is. I know this is a n00b question and I'm ashamed to be asking it, but how do I do create the equivalent Service Reference information in my client when all I have available to me is a physical copy of the
