I'm really sorry to bother you guys but I've been trying for two days now. I am currently trying to follow your example at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/BingSearch.aspx and I am cannot go past this error

using (LiveSearchService service = new LiveSearchService())
{

The type or namespace name 'LiveSearchService' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

now create an object of |LiveSearchPortTypeClient| which is the basic Endpoint class.

Assume this is where I went wrong,because I do know to how to create an Endpoint class:

Solution 3

If you think that you went wrong with LiveSearchPortTypeClient, then as per the article, while Adding a service reference you have to choose LiveSearchPortTypeClient from LiveSearchSerice node.
