RE: Unable to add Web Reference in Visual Studio 2008 on Win 2003

Steven,

In fact if you read the title of the thread it said
UNABLE TO ADD WEB REFERENCE IN VISUAL STUDIO 2008

That means I am trying to add a web reference and Visual Studio itself is
throwing the error about

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC>wsdl.exe
http://localhost/_vti_b
in/ReportServer/ReportService2006.asmx?WSDL
Microsoft (R) Web Services Description Language Utility
[Microsoft (R) .NET Framework, Version 2.0.50727.1432]
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Error: There was an error processing
'http://localhost/_vti_bin/ReportServer/Rep
ortService2006.asmx?WSDL'.
- The document at the url
http://localhost/_vti_bin/ReportServer/ReportService
2006.asmx?WSDL was not recognized as a known document type.
The error message from each known type may help you fix the problem:
- Report from 'DISCO Document' is 'Root element is missing.'.
- Report from 'WSDL Document' is 'There is an error in XML document (0,
0).'.
- Root element is missing.
- Report from 'XML Schema' is 'Root element is missing.'.


Hope that makes it clear.

In response to your test to
browse to the page in browser

if I go to
http://localhost/_vti_bin/ReportServer/ReportService2006.asmx

I get the supported operations, but if I add ?WSDL

I just get a blank screen. If it is an error on the server side do you have
any suggestions how to fix it please. It is a MOSS Site that I am using Deep
Integration with SSRS.

Hi Steve,

From your description, you're encoutering some problem when try adding
reference against a webservice ,correct?

Based on the code snippet and error info you provided, you're using the
wsdl.exe to generate proxy from commandline. Also, the following url
indicate that you're trying to generate proxy code against SQL Server
reporting service webservice, it that correct?

http://localhost/_vti_bin/ReportServer/ReportService2006.asmx?WSDL

I've performed some simple test on my side, seems the WSDL.exe and add
webreference(in Visual Studio) can correctly generate the proxy code. The
problem you encounterred might be a specific one. I suggest you try the
following things to verify whether the WSDL document is correctly published:

1. you can use webbrowser to visit the "ReportService2006.asmx" page to see
whether it can display the Webservice info and WSDL document correctly

2. Try using visual studio "Add WebReference" to generate the proxy.

IMO, it does be likely a configuration/publishing issue at the server-side.

If there is any other findings, welcome to post here.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

A thread suggests replacing a line in machine.config but unclear where on
earth to shove
