Hello Everyone,

I hope someone can help me with this.

I created a Simple Web Service using VB .net and Build the project. I created another project VB .net Windows Applications to use the Web service that I created.

In my Windows Client Applications I clicked on "Add Web Reference". In the Add Web Reference dialog box, I typed the URL of my web service, which is 'http://geeta/AuthorsWebService/AuthorsService.asmx

In the "Available References" window, it brings up my Webservice. When I click on "View Contents", I get the following error.

ERROR MESSAGE:
The document was understood, but it could not be processed.
  - The WSDL document contains links that could not be resolved.
  - There was an error downloading 'http://geeta/AuthorsWebService/AuthorsService.asmx?schema=authors1'.
  - The request failed with the error message:
--

Ignoring the error, I clicked on "Add reference" button. But it also came up with the following error message.

"Unable to download the following files http://geeta/AuthorsWebService/AuthorsService.asmx, 'http://geeta/AuthorsWebService/AuthorsService.asmx?wsdl. Do you wan to skip these files and continue?"

Please help.

Thanks,
Geeta

I get the same error. Don't have an answer yet. Maybe it has something to do with the way the web server security is setup.

I solved my problem. If you are running an ISA server this may be causing your problem. I discovered that I could not Add Web Reference because the server was returning port 81 in my URL string and then creating my .cs (or .vb) source file. When I compiled the source code it would naturally stick the :81 in my web reference dll file. I corrected the problem by not using the Web reference but by manually creating the .cs file, removing the :81 on URL and then recompiling the dll. Reference the new dll in your code.
