How are you trying to add a service reference? And to what kind of project. You should be able to choose "Add service reference..." in Visual Studio from the project menu or by right-clicking the project in Solution Explorer.

Solution 1

Are you running the service in Visual Studio or actually hosting it in IIS.
Based on that, you will need to provide the right URL to the service.

I am using it in VS .Its a simple website application. I DONT SEE the service refereence option...I restarted my system..no joy

If you don't see the option then Visual Studio thinks the project isn't compatible with adding a WCF reference (for example, a C++/MFC project). Your "simple website application" needs to be an ASP.NET project. You can build the reference manually using the Svcutil.exe[^] utility if you need to.
