Doesn’t produce a app.config . In my team there is a guy who has Visual Studio 2008, he created a webservice.

Then there is me, adding this webservice to a console project.

Adding the service reference goes without problems but no valid app.config is generated. It’s just empty

<configuration>
</configuration>

When I disable ‘reuse types’ in my service reference it works but then I get an ambiguous error.

Is this a bug?

I found Visual Studio does not generate app.config content when "add service reference" this one, but there is no solution there, so I thought I bump the problem up again.

Thanks

    I have experienced the same issue with Visual Studio 2008. I find I get different results if I’m using the “Add Service Reference…” command, or digging deeper to “Add Service Reference…” | “Advanced…” | “Add Web Reference…”.

    However, the tried-and-true method–and the solution that worked for me–is still via the command line:

    svcutil.exe /language:cs /out:GeneratedProxy.cs /config:app.config http://server/path_to/WebServiceBean?WSDL

    That should give you a working app.config. Hope that helps!
