Question

I have a winform project build on VS 2005 and framework 2. Recently, we moved to VS 2010, but keeping the framework v2 as target.

Everything runs fine except my web references.

When I update the web references, a new file “Reference1.cs” is created, under the reference.map file. This is causing troubles as original “Reference.cs” is still here and all classes are duplicated.

Here is the project structure :

• My winform project
  • Web references
    • MyWebServiceReference
      • WebService.disco
      • webservice.wsdl
      • Reference.map
        • mycomplextype.datasource
        • Reference.cs
        • Reference1.cs

On the reference.map file, I have a custom tool defined : MSDiscoCodeGenerator. This custom tool seems to throw a warning :

Warning 1 A custom tool ‘MSDiscoCodeGenerator’ is associated with file ‘Web References\MyWebService\Reference.map’, but the output of the custom tool was not found in the project. You may try re-running the custom tool by right-clicking on the file in the Solution Explorer and choosing Run Custom Tool.

If I run the custom tool, the file reference1.cs is generated…

thanks in advance for the help.

Answer 1

I would try deleting the web reference and re-adding instead of updating.
