I've a web site that contains a remote service reference (binded to a tcp://
WCF service).

I can add the reference, I can see endpoints and interface and select them,
and VS creates the service referce. No error.

Bun no object proxy is available on my namespace! I cannot refer to the
remote service in any way... :(

any idea?

I've create a blank new project and added a reference to the same service,
and all is ok :(

That can only happen on Server 2008 that a Web application running on
IIS7 can call a WCF service that is a non Web WCF service.

my application is hosted by a custom exe, not IIS. The client is an asp.net
web site, but the server is a console application.

It seems something related to custom types. I notied that disabling use of
custom type in reference, and using types created by the service proxy, all
interfaces came available.

The client is a ASP.NET Web application running on an IIS application
server hosting a site a on a server. The site itself is not the client.

Maybe, you know something I don't know. But I do know this, that a WCF
Web application client cannot consume a non Web WCF service, if it's
IIS6 and Win 2k3 server and below doing the hosting. It can only happen
with IIS7 and Win 2k8 server that a WCF Web application client can
consume a non Web WCF service.


You don't have IIS7 and Win 2k8 server where MS has implemented this
kind of WCF functionality you're trying to do, then it's not going to work.

And I suspect that's Win 2k8 server on both ends.

I'm using W2K8 on both sides.

Thanks
 
Hi Trapulo,

As you said that you can correctly see the service and operations in the
"Add ServiceReference" wizard, but the generated proxy doesn't contains
actual proxy class, correct? Are you using a website project? If so, have
you tried creating a web application project to see whether the generated
proxy code correctly display? For website project, "web reference" or
"service reference" may use dynamic compilation to generate the runtiem
proxy class and it may not persist source code file at design-time. If web
application project still doesn't show the proxy class file, there might
have some problem with the IDE or project.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng
