Hi,
I have been given a URL to a WSDL file so that I can access a web service. I tried adding it to a web project by selecting Add Service Reference, then Advanced, then Add Web Reference. It worked fine. I created an instance of the proxy class that was
generated and could call the methods.
All good so far.
I then tried adding it to a class library using the same approach, but it seems to have created .datasource files instead, and when I try to create an instance of the proxy class, it isn't recognised by Visual Studio (VS 2010 Pro).
Is it at all possible to add a web reference based on a WSDL file to a class library?
EDIT: Problem solved. In order to reference the service, I had to fully qualify it with the namespace it was nested within. My class was in the namespace Processing, so I had to use using Processing.ServiceRequest;
Go to the complete details ...
