The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Alternative to using svcutil.exe? (Can't create interface for ServiceReference)

Asked by dparkes in Web Services, C# Programming Language, WebApplications

Hello, this is a very beginner question. In learning about WCF and webservices, I've been using svcutil.exe to generate two files like the instructions tell me to do when I go to the service.svc webpage. That's been working fine.

But it is cumbersome to have to regenerate those files every time an update is done to the service.

Is creating a service reference (through the VS designer) an alternative to using this command line technique?

In VS I can create a service reference that finds the operations in my service, but I cannot figure out how to use them.

For instance, I have a helloworld operation that simply returns a string.

I create ServiceReference1 through the designer in VS. I know ServiceReference1.IService contains helloworld, but I am unable to create the object necessary to use it.

When I try this:
ServiceReference1.IService sr = new ServiceReference1.IService();

It tells me "Cannot create an abstract class or interface for 'myApp.ServiceReference1.IService".

Is there a way to get this to work, or am I approaching this all wrong?

This may just be a beginners coding issue, where I need to add something to the Service class, to get the interface to work, but I'm not sure.
