Solution(s)?
- Update Service Reference and try compiling
- Right click the service reference, click on "Configure Service Reference" and uncheck "Reuse types in referenced assemblies" and try compiling
- Open the WSDL file in the browser, and compare for illegal characters in the generated files (.disco, .wsdl, .xsd) for path references that differ from the address set in the step above
- Check for the ServiceReferences.ClientConfig if it has any incorrect entries
- Try dropping the entire service reference and adding it again
Still not working, yes that's possible!
