Why, when adding a service reference in VS2010, is the client class not generated?

I'm going insane, I beleive.

That is, I've never had an issue like this before, and nobody (that Google has indexed) seems to be having the same issue.

Whenever I add a reference to a particular ASMX service to a VS2010 project, all of the code is generated, there is an interface ServiceSoap that represents all of the features of the service, but there is no concrete implementation of that interface anywhere in the solution!

What am I doing wrong? I just right click project, add service reference, paste url to .asmx, type 'Blah' in the namespace box, click OK.

Everything seems to happen OK. I'm just bat-shit insane, I guess...

Update:
If I go to Advanced... in the add service reference dialog, and choose to add it as a .NET 2.0 service, everything works, but I don't particularly want to do it that way.
The actual namespace I'm using is Remedy and the service .asmx file is Service.asmx.

Solution

  • Try these steps:

    1. Look in the Output window to see if there are any errors when you use the "Add Service Reference".
    2. Look in the Reference.cs to see if there are any errors (generated as comments).
    3. Finally, try using svcutil.exe to generate the proxies, since it will be easier to see error messages.
