Hello Guys

I am trying to call my WCF Service using the code below but I am getting error message which says: The type or namespace name 'WCFCarService' does not exist in the namespace 'SilverlightCarServiceClient.WCFSilverlightReference' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
I have also tried to add it as reference and Silverlight does not accept projects created outside silverlight to be added.

C#

public MainPage()
       {
           InitializeComponent();
         SilverlightCarServiceClient.WCFSilverlightReference.WCFCarService client = new SilverlightCarServiceClient.WCFSilverlightReference.WCFCarService();

The service reference added is WCFSilverReference.

Please help.
Thanks
TB

Solution 1

Can you have a look at SOAP message of the web service to see if 'WCFCarService' exists within the message in the first place?

I have looked at the SOAP message and it contains the WCFCarService. I have even created an ASP.Net client to test the service and it is working fine. When I checked the Service reference it does not contain the WCFCarService which is strange because I confirmed that the service reference has been properly created.

Silvelight suppports the Basic WS profile (http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/BasicProfile-1.0-2004-04-16.html). In case you've used some constructs that don't conform to that, the web service wont be correctly generated in Silverlight.

Solution 2

Did you create your web service correctly? If you're doing a WCF service, you have to first create a .net web service, and then within that project, you have to create a Silverlight-compatible WCF service.

Not sure if it makes a difference but here is how I did it: I created the WCF application and then I added a Silverlight application. I have also tested the WCF service with an ASP.Net client which worked fine without any difficulties.
