WSDL, Wrong DLL(??) and "Error: Method not found"

[triffid]

Hi,

I'm trying to use VS 2003's WSDL.exe to create the web service proxies
for a book example (Sams Teach Yourself Web Programming in 21 Days,
ahem).

Typing at the VS prompt:-
D:\workdir\src\timeservice> wsdl /l:CD /n:WebBook /out:TimeProxy.cs
http://localhost/TimeService/TimeUtils.asmx?WSDL
gives

"Error: Method not found: Void
System.Web.Services.Discovery.DiscoveryClientProtocol.LoadExternals()"

On MS's site
( http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1454967&SiteID=1
)
someone having a similar problem is told
"seems like the wsdl.exe you're using is of the wrong version. make
sure you are using the same version as the System.Web.Services.dll
available on your machine."

Makes sense. I only have one wsdl.exe, and I have two
System.Web.Services.dlls. I also know that VS '03 is pretty old now,
and will be using an older version of .Net.

However, looking at my PATH, it seems like the first one should be
used, and even explicitly altering my path (see after sig) to remove
the directory containing the wrong version of the DLL (corresponding
to ASP.Net v2.0 instead of 1.1, I assume) doesn't change anything- I
still get the error.

Any thoughts?

Hi

I had the same exact error and I followed the directions noted in your
post to resolve it. I looked at the date of creation of the
System.Web.Services.dll and wsdl.exe and used the wsdl corresponding
to the closest match between the dates (I had the
System.Web.Services.dll files from 2002 to 2003 and wsdl.exe files
from 2003 to 2004. I used the one from 2003.

Hope this helps

thanks
