I can't add a Web Reference

Alexander Walker · Feb 2, 2006

Hello

I am developing a website that has a Web Service that I want to expose to
Windows Forms based SmartClients when I try to add the web reference to the
smart client I get the following message in the "Web services found at this
URL:" box of the "Add Web Reference" dialog

There was an error downloading
'http://localhost/WebSite1/Folder1/WebService1.asmx'.

The request failed with the error message:
--
<html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body>
<h2>Object moved to <a
href="/WebSite1/Folder1/WebService1.asmx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1">here</a>.</h2>
</body></html>

--.

What can I do to stop this from happening and/or enable myself to add a
reference to the Web Service

Thanks

Alex

Are you sure you shouldn't be getting the WSDL from this instead (note ?wsdl
query string):

http://localhost/WebSite1/Folder1/WebService1.asmx?wsdl

If not, then the redirect tells me you've got authentication setup for that
URL, thus you need to have logged in to access the URL. I don't know if you
want that or not?

Hi Brock

I have not intentionally applied any authentication to my web service, how might
I check to see if authentication has been applied to it? I created it in the
same way I would in VS 2003 and tried to add a reference to it in the same way
as I would have in VS 2003, the website itself uses the role and membership
features of asp.net 2.0 might they be cause?

webservice on hybrid site

I am trying to use a service on a site that has membership, profiles etc. Part of the functionality of the site is to use disconnected data, which I had hoped to sync with my desktop app using web services, but I get the same error about how the aspxautodetect thing too. Has anyone found an answer to this?
