WCF / ASMX :: Adding Reference To Web Service Do Not Copy The .config File?
Jul 8, 2010
I am adding a reference of class library in web service in VS2008 and it is not copying the .config file from class library to web service. I have checked the property "Copy to output directory" of .config file and its value is "Copy Always".
How to create an instance of web service without adding web service reference? How to identify the server address/name where the web service is hosted from C# code?
but when I tried to add the service reference to the silverlight app, the Add Service Reference window would show me that there was a service file, but the node wouldn't expand to show the rest of the files that contain the services and what not. I got this error instead:
"An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately."
"Parser Error Message:There is no service behavior named 'AdventureWorks_WebServer.Service1Behavior'."
"Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'http://localhost:55579/Service1.svc'.
The server did not provide a meaningful reply; this might be caused by a contract mismatch, a premature session shutdown or an internal server error.
If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again."
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?
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.
I have a Silverlight control that is hosted within an ASP.NET application. The Silverlight control has a web service reference. The URL of this service is going to vary when we install the application for our customers. I need a way to be able to change this web service reference URL from within the web.config of the ASP.NET application. How can I do this?
I have developed an asp.net web service and deployed it Win 2003 server on IIS 6. I tried to access it from my asp.net application which is in developer pc, i'm getting a dialog-box "Discovery Credential for Proxy Server"... which asks for a user and password.
Even when I provided right credentials it is not accepting. May be this is because of firewall. How can I get rid of this.
I have a number of .Net web sites built in VS2010 using Framework 4.0that reference a web service to send emails.
My most recent site I created as a web application as opposed to a web site. In the Solution Explorer you can add a 'Service Reference' and, if you click the Advanced button you can then add a reference to a web service.
I did that and now the (web application) site won't build - it says it cannot load the Ajax dll. If I remove the reference to the web service, the site builds okay - if I add the reference back in, the site will not build.
Do I need to abandon the idea of using a 'Web Application' and turn it into a 'Web Site'?
I am getting an error when i try to add a service reference of a WCF service. Error details is below. My web service is hosted on a different server and my client is on different server. When i run the service directly from IE i can see the service but adding it in .net web application i get error.
I have web project and class projects. one of the Class project has web reference. and i am consuming it in web project.Question: can I change class projects web reference url depending on environment DEV, Release, Test?Question: While in runtime why does not web reference's url take value from app.config?(it is taking value from Settings.settings.)
Thing is, when my service is providing result of type string my client .aspx page is working fine and it gives reference in my code. But now I changed my service to provide custom data type and I can't see service reference in my code, intellisense doesn't offer it at all. What am I missing here? WCFTestClient.exe is giving good results but I can't create my own in VS 2008
I have created WCF Application in vs2010 and using it in window application . i have added WCF service reference using "Add Web service Reference" from visual stuio. i want to do it by programming.
I am having a strange issue in my C# Console Application:
Name Space: WcfConsoleApp Main Class: Program.cs Name Space: WcfConsoleApp.ServiceReference this namespace contains the WCF service reference
After building the project, the Program.exe avaliable in Debug folder is executing fine as expected.But when i move the exe to Client, where i need to actually run this exe, it works fine up to the line where i am referencing the Service, the line is:
WcfConsoleApp.ServiceReference.ServiceClient service = new WcfConsoleApp.ServiceReference.ServiceClient();
the consoel app crashes on the client machine at this line. (i know this because before this line, i display some mesage on the console)the same .exe and works fine at my development machine.I am sure it has to do some thing with reference path, i think the program is not getting to the path where service reference is avaliable. I have copied the full project folder as it is to the client, but still its is not working.
using the VS(2008) Data configuration wizard, and it found the web service and displayed various items from the service. I want to make a simple call to this web service (mainly to learn how to do it). Here is some sample code I found, but I just don't know how to implement it.
I named my web service reference LiveSearchService. What code do I need to implement, what libraries, to retrieve any information from this web service?
I have an ASMX web service which, in turn, creates a Service Reference which ultimately calls a third party web service. So, in essence, my ASMX is acting as a proxy to the thrid party service. This works fine on my development box.When I deploy to a target server and call my ASMX web service, it fails with an object instance not set error. On closer inspection, it looks as if the failure is in the line of code which creates an instance of the Service Reference - DIM XXX as new ServiceReference.I'm guessing that something has gone missing in the deployment, but can't see what.
I do not understand what is happening here. If I run this same bizApp referenced from a webpage my code finds the endpoint in either my web.config file for the webpage. I copy that same section and paste it into the New version of web page that uses a new WCF that contains this same bizApp and I get a can not find endpoint.
I added a service reference via the add service reference method. I can see all of its services in the intellisense but when I run the project and it executes the line where I instantiate the service : MyProjectName.ServiceReferenceName.IServiceReferenceClient client = new MyProjectName.ServiceReferenceName.ServiceReferenceClient;it throws this error:Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'ServiceReferenceName.IServiceReferenceClient' in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the client element.
I have a webservice - called MyCompany.WebService1
I reference this using a web reference in my ASP.net web application.
Theres a method called "GetDeal" in this web service, that returns a "Deal" Object.
The deal object currently looks (for example) like this:
[code]....
This class is in a different assembly: MyCompany.Model
The web service references this assembly.
In my web app, I can call the GetDeal method. This returns Service1.Deal (service1 is just the name of the web reference)
I can access both properties above. I have now changed the Deal class, and added a couple more properties.
However, I can't see these new properties in my web application. I've updated the web service in the web application. I rebuilt the web service several times, tried removing the MyCompany.Model reference and re-addding it etc...
I can't figure out what has changed... This was working - I have changed the model before, and it's updated the reference correctly...
when svc.getLookupList(reqobj) will call i get following error.
"There was no endpoint listening at http://rets.newjerseymls.com/rets that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action."
how to add the web service in my project and how to use it.
I am planning to use Autocomplete from ajax tool kit which needs a web service. Web service will be prepared and given to me, and i need to use it in my project for autocomplete control.
step by step procedure to add web service in my project and also how can I create a web service if i have to create my own service.
I am using this method since a year to build my project, but I am really tried of it now. I have to find some good solution on it.
The issue is, in my solution I have some c# library projects(BO, BAL, DAL) and 1 web project which also contains a webservice.
My Webservice accesses BusinessObject classes to transfter data from webservice to Window Application programm.
Now when I am adding a webservice reference to this web application, I got some error like following
Error 34 Argument 1: cannot convert from 'TestSolution.Business_Objects.Synchro' to 'KeySoftlock.KeyWebService.Synchro' D:websTestSolutionKeySoftlockBusiness LogicWebServiceCaller.cs 296 62 KeySoftlock
so , for this what I am always doing is , I go into the Reference.cs of KeySoftlock project - auto created by VS when I add web reference- and delete the classes that are automatically generated there., and adds a namespace Business_Objects, so that both classes will be the same.
Now my project-solution builds properly! But now its really overhead of always doing this when I change the webservice reference from local to remote and vice versa.
