Hi all,
I am having an issue adding a web reference in VS 2010. I am working on a project in which XML Web Services has been mandated and am not able to use WCF. As a result, I created an XML Web Service in VS 2010 using 4.0 framework. I am trying to generate a proxy to the service from another solution using the Add Web Reference under the Advanced options for Add Service Reference. If I type in the URL of the service, the dialog finds it without a problem. Then, I give it the namespace AuthService and when I click to add the reference, the reference.cs file generated is almost completely empty. In addition, it is generating an invalid namespace. Below is what the reference.cs file contains.

namespace NJ.TREAS.TAX.CorpTaxRefunds.PTier.Proxies.Web References\AuthService

public partial class Automapper

}
}
#endregionFurthermore, if I generate the proxy file from the command line using wsdl.exe, the proxy is generated as below.

So, I guess I have multiple questions. Why isn't the Add Web Reference dialog generating the proxy correctly and how do I fix it? Also, what is the difference between using the Add Web Reference dialog and using wsdl.exe? I understand the
dialog is a wrapper around wsdl.exe and that wsdl.exe provides more options but why is one working and not the other?Thanks for any assistance that can be provided, I really appreciate it.
