We have a silverlight project that uses RIA services. There is some code that I want to share between that project and a web service. I have to leave the code where it is now, i.e. I cannot share the code.

What I thought would be good is for the web service to call the RIA service. It will be sitting on the same server.

I went to my web service project, and added a service reference to the ria service. I clicked advanced and ticked the option for it to ‘generate asynchronous operations’.

I thought it would be all good to go, but I got some warnings. The client code that it generated was missing any actual code relating to the asynchronous calls, and the app.config is also empty. Here are the warnings,

    Not finished completely, got quite a bit further along. The problems I am having now warrant a new question.

    The solution to the above problem is to untick the option ‘reuse types in referenced assemblies’. When you add service reference, you click the advanced button and you get the option ‘reuse types in referenced assemblies’.

    This is because I am sharing some code between the two projects I am using, and it was trying to ‘reuse’ objects I had on my side in the shared code. Instead I just wanted it to create proxy objects for me and not reuse those objects.
