Question

Whenever I add a web reference for any Sharepoint web service in VS 2008, the preview window while adding the web reference shows the proper method names:
Note CreateFolder:

Before: alt text http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/5286/vs20081bq7.png

And after, the CreateFolder method is not there

After http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/3530/vs20082be5.png

I looked over the documentation at MSDN but it appears I am using it properly.
Can anybody point out my mistake?  Thanks

You need to create a reference to the Dws object in your code. Otherwise you can only see the static methods/types.

Try

DocumentWorkspace dw = new DocumentWorkspace(); dw.CreateFolder(); 

Not that normally I need to get a reference to a specific sites dws services, so adding the following code helps

dw.Credentials = [get the appropriate credentials, most often System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials]; dw.Url = [basesiteurl] + '/_vti_bin/dw.asmx';
