You are implementing a WCF Data Service client application. You need to use Visual Studio to generate WCF Data Service client library classes.

What should you do?

Create WCF Data Services client library classes by using the Add Service Reference dialog box in Visual Studio. After you provide the data service URI, the dialog box requests the service metadata document from the data service, interprets the returned metadata, and generates a representation of the service as an entity container class that inherits from DataServiceContext.

Select Add New Item and choose WCF Service to add a WCF Service endpoint, not to consume a WCF service.
