Question

I have created a wcf service called ServiceIRE. I add a service reference to my project by right clicking on th eproject in solution explorer and clicking add Service Reference. I am able to discover my created service and click ok after specifying the namespace ServiceReference1. All files seem to be generated properly.

I then go to the codebehind and try to add a using statment “using ServiceReference1;”. This is unrecognized by the file even though the namespace apparently exists in the same project.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ServiceIRE.cs

namespace FakeIREServiceLibrary
{

[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
public class ServiceIRE : IServiceIRE
{
    public string GetData()
    {
        Random rnd = new Random();
        var randomNumber = rnd.Next(10);
        Random rndID = new Random();
        var randomNumberID = rnd.Next(10000);
        Thread.Sleep(randomNumber*1000);
        return string.Format("Thread # {0} returned in {1} nanoseconds", randomNumberID, rnd.Next());
    }


}

IServiceIRE.cs

namespace FakeIREServiceLibrary
{

    [ServiceContract]
    public interface IServiceIRE
    {
        [OperationContract]
        string GetData();

    }
}

Page.aspx.cs

using ServiceReference1; //THIS IS NOT RECOGNIZED

Thank you in advance 🙂

What’s the default namespace for your project?

I believe you have to do something like “using DefaultNamespaceForProject.ServiceReference1;”

You can find the default namespace by right clicking your project.. clicking Properties, and then going to the Application tab.
