I have a project A which has a Service reference to a WCF Service.

I have a project A which has a Service reference to a WCF Service. I want to invoke the service in project B without a Service reference.
From what I understand, the Service reference is just a way to generate the proxy and config and is not used at run-time.
I copied the proxy class and the node from project A to project B.

Can I just create an instance of the proxy class in project B and expect it to directly use the config. items and connect to the service without anything else?
(I cannot try this right now)

    Short answer yes.

    As long as you have the interface, a way to connect to the service, you can create a channel and talk to service without having the reference.

    The reference simply makes it easier for you to develop against.
