Changing "web Reference" To "service Reference" Changes Method Signature?
Sep 3, 2010
I'm helping out a colleague on this one so if I'm missing some details that's why.We have an asp.net 3.5 web application calling a WCF service. Originally the app used a "Web Reference" to register the service however after having some trouble and burning an incident with Microsoft their solution was to replace the "Web Reference" with a "Service Reference" to the WCF service.This is great except the problem is that when we create a Service Reference, the method signatures are different than they were when a Web Reference was used.From what I've read this may be expected, however in our case this would mean some significant changes to the application and of course it was due yesterday...so......I'm wondering two things:Is it normal/expected that method signatures will change based on the reference type?Is there a way to create the Service Reference that will generate method signatures identical to the original Web Reference?

I have built a WCF Service that is being consumed by a Silverlight app. At first I created one method that was very simple:
public String SfTest()
{
return "SF Test";
}
No poblem. My silverlight app references my service and displays "SF Test" in a textbox. Now I add a method to my wcf service like this:
public List<String> GetTest()
{
List<String> list = new List<string>();
String a = "a";
list.Add(a);
String b = "b";
list.Add(b);
return list;
}
I update the reference to the service in my Silverlight app and the using statement in my xaml cs page throws an error like the service doesn't even exist although it is there. I am assuming the problem has to do with datatypes or serialization or something like that but it is driving me up the wall. Why can't I consume a simple generic list in my Silverlight app through the WCF service.

Using VS2008, I noticed that in Class Project I only have a choice of adding "service reference" where as in Web Application project, I have two choices "web reference" and "service reference".
I have used web reference. How is "service reference" different from web ref? and what's the major purpose of service ref?

I have a web control with a text box configured like this:
[Code]....
I am unable to get it to hit the method in my service with a signature like:
public
string[] GetOrganizationNames(string searchText,
int count)
but it does get to the method if I change the signature to:
public
string[] GetOrganizationNames()
For obvious reasons the second one will not do me any good. I have verified the data coming back from the method is good.

I have a GridView on my main page, and each record contains the address of a different Web service. When a user clicks on a record they are directed to a details page for whatever they have chosen. I am displaying a GridView on the details page with an ObjectDataSource pointing to a Web service. My problem is that I somehow want to change the 'Web Reference URL' depending on which record the user chose on the main page? Is this possible or is there another way to go about the problem, such as jQuery/AJAX?

I'm currently trying to work out the best way to build this web application, which will then be intergrated on other systems, such as WinForms, Intranets etc.
We hope to include the usual layers i.e. DAL, BLL, BOL and UI but I have been experimenting with Entity Framework 4 and WCF Data Services and managed to get something in place where I was using WCF as a gateway to EF4.
i.e. Adding a Service Reference to my project and then using the EF4 context and writing LINQ queries against the DB
e.g.[Code]....
Now with the current setup I would still need to write a DAL Class Library, that interacts with the Data Service, because as I said WCF Data Services only seems to be a gateway, I can't see where to put the code (above) in the Data Service and then how I could these methods.
My questions are: 1. How do I develop a WCF Data Service in such a way to allow this behaviour - I know how I could do it using ASMX web service, something like [Code]....
2. If I am to use WCF Data Services, how is serialization handled (if at all) - again I know how to do something in ASMX web services
3. Again, If I am to use WCF, how do I add Security and only allow my applications to access the web service - for obvious reasons
4. Would it be possible / logical to also include the Business Logic Layer into the web service?

<Application architecture>I'm developing ASP.NET Web Application by Visual Studio 2008.(.Net Framework Version = 2.0)I put followin two projetcs in the solution.a. Class library which implements all the buisiness logic for application.
(I'll call it "ClassLib" in the followin sentence)b. ASP.NET Web applicatoin which presents UI.(I'll call it "WebApp")ClassLib uses Web Service which located on other server. So, I set web reference in it. Method for url settings for this web reference is "Dynamic".

I am trying to call web reference "A" in an application.
The web reference "A" will then call a function in another web reference "B" through HTTPS connection (require certificate).
Then I keep getting the following error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException' occurred in System.Web.Services.dll

When you use ASP.NET web site (instead of web application model) and add reference to an assembly from local folder, Visual Studio, it seems, understands that this local assembly is also in GAC and so does NOT copy this assembly to bin folder (as it does with non-GAC assemblies), but simply adds new record in web.config file.
Why such a behaviour? Is it possible to force copy to bin folder (I need this since .dll is not on target environment)? I can add assembly to bin folder as file and it will work, but in this case bin folder contents will be in source control, which is not good.

I am working on converting a project from C# to VB and am facing this weird issue. 1 page cannot compile and I get the reference error, but the weird thing is that the compiler shows the error as coming from ASP.NET generated code. Visual Studio shows me that error is coming from my ASPX page. I cannot seem to figure out why or where this error is occuring. Also if I take the inherits attribute out I don't get the compilation error. The code in aspx page is below:

I am using VS2005, and a newbie at table adapters, DAL & BLL. I have a single dataset (in DAL) and 2 classes (in BLL) named Class1.vb and Class2.vb.
When I try to call a function from Class1 within Class2 I get the error "Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference".
Here is a sketch of my code structure:

I have a Web service which, when updated on one computer with VS2008 works perfectly fine, but on another computer does not. The critical difference is the contents of the auto-generated Reference.cs.
In the correctly functioning environment, the methods have fully qualified class names, refering to classes in a class library. However, in the problem environment, the class names are unqualified and partial classes are declared near the end of the file. E.g.
[code]....
The code is under source control. Checking out to the working environment works straight away, checking out to the problem environment will only work if the reference.cs is manually edited to be like the working environments. Transferring the project manually from problem environment to the working one only requires an "Update Web Reference" to be performed to allow compilation. Both Reference.cs files claim to be auto-generated by the same tool version. The settings from the good environment have been exported to the other. No success so far...

I have a url like this:
http://www.somepage.com/main.aspx. In this page, when I click on a link it takes me to a page
http://www.somepage.com/cental.aspx?cid=200. So in the cental.aspx.cs page I did the following in the page load:
if(request.querystring["comp"].tostring() != null)
{
//do some thing [code].....
So I got an error like: object reference not set to an instance of reference.My problem is, I am using the same page. So when I go from some page, I will have "comp". but other times not. So when there is no "comp", how do I handle it in request.querystring?

I have an annoying problem when I'm developing in Visual Studio 2010. I am using an UpdatePanel in my .ascx file like this:
<asp:updatepanel id="upStuff" runat="server">....</asp:updatepanel>
in my control.ascx.designer.cs, the update panel is being defined like this:
protected global::System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.updatepanel upSettings;
this produces the error:
"The type or namespace name 'updatepanel' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts' (are you missing an assembly reference?)"
The actual namespace should be System.Web.UI.UpdatePanel. When I go directly into the designer.cs file and change it, it works. However, every time I go back into editing control.ascx and save, Visual Studio always changes it back to system.Web.UI.WebControls.Webparts.updatepanel. I'm not sure what is causing this. Is it how I should be referencing namespaces and classes in my project? I'm using .NET 3.5.

I'm creating a DLL with a reference to web services (I don't have the choice to do so) but I have to add web service references to the project that uses the DLL for it to work. Example, I have the DLL called API.DLL that calls a web service called WebService.svc that I want to use in a project called WinForm. First, I have to add a "Service Reference" to WebService.svc in API.DLL. Then, I add a reference API.DLL to WinForm but it doesn't work unless I also add a service reference to WebService.svc in WinForm.

I used this brilliant solution to convert a linq query to a datatable. But I'm getting a strange error when running it. Build succeeds though.
Compiler Error Message: CS0121: The call is ambiguous between the following methods or properties:
'Gruppkoll.App_Code.ConvertToDataTableFromLinqResult.ToADOTable<Gruppkoll.MessageSet
(System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<Gruppkoll.MessageSet>)' and
'Gruppkoll.App_Code.ConvertToDataTableFromLinqResult.ToADOTable<Gruppkoll.MessageSet (System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<Gruppkoll.MessageSet>)'
I've tried re-building it and restarting the IIS. It seems as there are two classes with the same method but I've checked this and that's not the case. I'm using .NET 4.0 ASP.NET Webforms.

We inherited some code that makes use of a web service on an external server from a third party. Currently all the references are done in the project directly and thus compiled to that location and such. This issue we have is that there is a test and production server for the web service with different URLs.
Is there a simple means to make the web reference more dynamic so that it can be defined in a web.config and not require changing the actual source and recompiling to switch between servers?

I have a UI that communicates with a service. I made some changes to the service- added some code and a property in the Interface associated with the service. After I made the changes, I updated the service reference in my UI and I couldn't access my newly added property. I also tried deleting the reference and adding in back again, it still doesn't work. I get the following error:
xxxxxxx(filename) does not contain a definition for xxxx(propertyname) and no extension method accepting a first arguement of type xxxxx could be found(are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
When I look in the Reference.cs file, I don't see the newly added property in it.
