Host the service, and then use the URI of the hosted service in the other project to have VS create a proxy for you.
Here’s a step by step article on how to add a reference. And here’s an article that teaches you how to host a service in VS (which is probably the simplest thing to do while developing). I’d recommend you host your service in IIS, however, even during development.
