What happened to the "Add Web Reference" option in Visual Studio 2008
when right-clicking a Windows Service project? It's in VS2K5, but not
in VS2K8. Anyone know the right way to do this? I need a Windows
Service to call a Web Service.

Maybe as a work-around:

I always use the utility WSDL.exe to generate a class wich can then be used
to call the webservice, no need for a web-reference.

Start a command prompt

call vsvars32.bat in \program files\<Your visual Studio
version>\Common7\Tools\

call WSDL.exe /l:cs http://localhost/myWebService/Service1.asmx?wsdl (or
use /l:vb for vb.net)


Remember to regenerate this class when the webservice changes.


Hope this helps.
Jurjen.

Thanks! Hopefully MS will fix this in a future update.

Right click and choose "Add Service Reference".

VS.NET 2008 supports WCF which in turns supports web services.

Dho! I saw that and for some reason I incorrectly thought it was
adding a *Windows* service reference rather than a *Web* reference.
That is what I needed all along... and even better. Looks like we can
now have our lists as generic lists rather than less capable arrays...
and possibly even reuse types between web services (I think... I'll
have to look into that... if so, that'll solve a LOT of problems).

Thanks!
