Visual Studio 2008 not able to generate code for WSDL Web Reference

Not sure of the answer to the above, but have you tried running the WSDL file through the WSDL.exe utility? You can access it by opening up a Visual Studio Command Prompt (under Start->Microsoft Visual Studio 2008->Visual Studio Tools). In the prompt, you can enter:

wsdl.exe C:\path\to\wsdl.exe


-- optionally, if XSDs are required for the types defined in the WSDL --

wsdl.exe C:\path\to\wsdl.exe C:\path\to\first.xsd [C:\path\to\second.xsd ...]

Select allOpen in new window

Yes, I have tried to generate the code using wsdl.exe. I could generate C# code and I have added the .cs file to my project. But I am getting many build errors like

The type or namespace name 'HttpGetClientProtocol' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Web.Services.Protocols' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

I have added System.Web.Services reference also. I am guessing that the basic is problem is because I am using Http Get protocol while creating my WSDL file instead of SOAP protocol.

Can you help me how to use Http Get protocol with WSDL.

Thank you,
Divya.

Have you (or can you) tried using the /namespace option with WSDL.exe? This will put all the generated classes into whatever namespace you designate. This will help to prevent naming collisions. The command line would be something like:

wsdl.exe /namespace:MyWSNamespace C:\path\to\wsdl.xsd

Select allOpen in new window

Once you do that, add a "using" directive to the file that will be attempting to call the service:

using MyWSNamespace;

Select allOpen in new window

Then let's see where your code stands.

I have used /namespace and tried again. Before even I try to use the generated code I just built it and got so many errors. I have added the two .cs files that were generated to my project and compiled it.
