Problems using "Add Web Reference"

[Guest]

Hi There

I am having some difficulty referencing Web Services. I am using Visual Studio .NET 2003, with the .NET Framework 1.1, and trying to write a VB.NET Windows Application that consumes an external Web Service

When I endeavour to use the "Add Web Reference" and select a URL which I know returns a WSDL file, I get prompted with the "Open, Save, Cancel or More Info" dialog box that I am familiar with in IE. If I select Open, it opens it as a file within VS.NET. Saving, saves it locally, but none of them display the file in the Web Reference display page, and hence allow me to set a reference

Any help with this puzzling problem would be most appreciated

Regards
Trevor Andrew

Are you making the reference to the actual wsdl or just the doc that has the
wsdl?

Hi Scott

As an example, I'm typing in the following URL

http://ws.microsoft.com/mscomservice/mscom.asmx?wsd

Which is shown as an example URL to retrieve a wsdl definition from some sample web services at Microsoft. If I save the document, it appears to be a WSDL document. Am I doing something wrong here

You are using the correct format. Are you sure you have a web server
running on the machine you are developing on?

Hi Scott,

Yes, I am running a web server on the machine I am developing on, but I'm not quite sure I understand why that is relevant to what I'm doing? At the moment, I'm trying to address a remote web service at Microsoft, as per the quoted URL below.

My development environment is XP PRO, VS.NET 2003, .NET Framework 1.1. IIS is running on the box, and I have previously successfully run some local web service examples successfully.

Could it be something to do with my proxy server? I have an ISA Server between this workstation and the Internet.

I've seen suggestions to use the WSDL.exe utility to create a proxy or stub, but don't appear to have it installed on my machine. I assume that it's part of the .NET Framework SDK. Would you suggest using this to try and get it to work?

I have made a test Windows Form application and successfully made a
reference to that sample wsdl document you posted earlier. I am running XP
Pro, VS 2002 however. Could this be a VS 2003 bug?

Hi Scott,

from some
sample web services at Microsoft. If I save the document, it appears to be a
WSDL document. Am I doing something wrong here? doc that
has the

wsdl?
