Are you sure it is a WCF service, using the Service Model? Maybe it IS an .asmx service?

Yup they says it is WCF as they have developed it in VS2005 with the extensions!!<br />
<br />
However still having problems as they now think it could be how VS2008 is creating the proxy. Have you heard anything about compatability problems between VS2005 and VS2008 and WCF Services?

Hi all,<br />
<br />
I am trying to consume a WCF service provided by a third party. I have added a service reference to my class library and all seems to go well but after I create an instance of the proxy it does not show any methods.<br />
<br />
The funny thing is if I create this as a web reference in my web application it seems to work ok.<br />
<br />
Any help on this would be much appreciated.<br />
<br />
Many thanks<br />

Can not consume WCF Service

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a tool used to implement and deploy a service-oriented architecture (SOA) to support distributed computing where services have remote consumers. It features a runtime and a set of APIs in the .NET Framework for building connected, service-oriented applications. Services typically have a WSDL interface (Web Services Description Language) that any WCF client can use to consume the service, regardless of which platform the service is hosted on. WCF implements many advanced Web services (WS) standards such as WS-Addressing, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Security, RSS Syndication Services, WS-Discovery, routing and better support for REST services.
