Asp.net - Changing "web Reference" To "service Reference" Changes Method Signature
Sep 3, 2010
We have an asp.net 3.5 web application calling a WCF service. Originally the app used a "Web Reference" to register the service however after having some trouble and burning an incident with Microsoft their solution was to replace the "Web Reference" with a "Service Reference" to the WCF service.
This is great except the problem is that when we create a Service Reference, the method signatures are different than they were when a Web Reference was used.
From what I've read this may be expected, however in our case this would mean some significant changes to the application and of course it was due yesterday...so...
...I'm wondering two things:
Is it normal/expected that method signatures will change based on the reference type? Is there a way to create the Service Reference that will generate method signatures identical to the original Web Reference?
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and .NET3.5. I've created a WCF service application. I'm including two DLLs that contain the types I'm returning. The first method I wrote works both in WCF Test Client and also in a console application I created to test. When I move on to the next method that returns a generic list of a type. It works great in WCF Test Client, but when I update the service reference it acts as if the service is unavailable. All my objects say can't find reference, and I can no longer see it in the object browser. It's like it just disappears. I can still see it in the Service Reference folder. If I go back to the WCF app and comment out the contract and implementation of that one method it work again. I created a local class very similar to the class I'm using from the dll, and the it works. Is there something I'm missing here? Can someone point me in the right direction?
i have a WPF application that uses a service reference to a web service.Now i have a GUI component that tracks the progress of this...But i seem to have some sort of bug here, it only occurs on some machines and not often..I start a call with MethodNameAsync and display the progress bar until the matching Completed event occurs.
some times i call 3 different async methods in a row but only the two of them get their Completed event raised so the GUI will be locked and the application has to be restarted.After being totally frustrated a few weeks i found the event AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FirstChanceException, so i hooked up to it and started logging all FirstChanceExceptions..
[Code]...
Fix this temporary by not using async methods and instead using a thread that will call them one by one.. now this is not a elegant solution, i should be able to use the async methods...
I have added webservice support to an OLD PocketPc 2002 application written in VS2003. I don't have the ability to choose dynamic path as in VS 2005, which is the best way to switch URL from dev, test and prod environment for this application? Should I create some factory class that read a value from the app.config and return a service reference with the correct URI?
I want to make a program that will ask the user to enter the service reference URL in the text box then click a button to add the service reference. how to add and remove a service reference?
I'm just a starter in silverlight and WCF. I came across a very good article here by Miguel A. Castro which teaches to add the WCF manually. I have the contract service setup and the only thing I left is to get the data back from the service in the silveright. I have a hard time translate the code to vb.net.
BasicHttpBinding basicHttpBinding = new BasicHttpBinding(); EndpointAddress endpointAddress = new EndpointAddress("/Person.svc"); IPersonService personService = new ChannelFactory<IPersonService>(basicHttpBinding, endpointAddress).CreateChannel();
So I wanted everyone's opinion on this and what you think of this. Using the WithEvents modifier makes life very easy in VB.Net (srsly, I love it), and I was exploring some of its limitations and noticed you can do something along the lines of this:
I've got a service running (well, it doesn't crash), but when I try to add a Service Reference to it, I keep getting:
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'net.tcp://localhost:55555/mex'. Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'net.tcp://localhost:55555/mex'.
If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.The pertinent parts of my config file are:
I'm integrating one of our apps with a third-party provider's web service. I've added the service reference, but when I go to dimension a var as one of their types, the types aren't showing up for me in Intellisense. I'm using VB.NET/VS 2008 on Windows 7 and a 2.0 Framework web site running on local IIS. I have imported System.Web and System.Web.Service in my codebehind. I also made sure to check the "Always generate message contracts" checkbox.Types not showing up for service reference
I'm trying to change the reference of a variable passed from one form to another in the constructor of the recieveing form but after I've changed it the original reference still remains in the source form. Why is this and can I force it to accept the new reference?
I am compiling a program from my own program using VBCodeProvider and everything was working well but somewhere along the lines I changed a reference option or something and now everytime I try to build my child program I get the error Error: BC2006 'option 'res' requires ':<resinfo>';
Today I was build one Windows Service Application which has the reference to 4 Dll. After building the Release I found that there was one more DLL in addition to the reference I have. I checked using ILDASM and it only showed 4 dlls.What could be the issue ? How I can I check why it is getting unwanted DLL's in Release Folder?
I'm currently trying to call a WCF service dynamically See here, therefore, I'm trying to understand what happens behind, when I add a service reference by the GUI of Visual Studio... What's generated..? An object is created and an implicit reference is created...
Are the references contained in a specific container, a sort of pool?
When I add a service reference to my VB.Net project all of the properties of type DateTime get changed to type Date. The project is ASP.Net using framework 4.0. The web service being referenced is C# framework 4.0. How can I keep this from happening?
I am building an application and I am using web services for getting data from a server. It was working fine when I was developing on my XP machine but had to switch to Windows 7. On the new machine I grabbed the latest version of the code using sourcesafe.However, when I try to add a service reference in the solution or update an existing one I get the following error:
There was an error downloading 'http://localhost:52490/Service/CustomerService.asmx'.
The request failed with the error message:Server Error in '/' Application.Parser Error Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.

I know strings are immutable, so the minute you change a string reference's value .NET makes a brand new string on the heap. But what if you don't change the value of a string reference; rather, you simply pass it into a function ByVal -- does this operation copy the string value on the heap as well? My inclination is "no," but I'd like to confirm.
For example: Public Function IsStringHello(ByVal test As String) As Boolean Return (String.Compare(test, "Hello") = 0) End Function
Calling program: Dim myWord as String = "Blah" Dim matchesHello as Boolean = IsStringHello(myWord)
I know passing myWord by value makes a copy of the reference to "Blah", but since I have not tried to change the string itself, would it make another copy of the string on the heap?
I am receiving this error: Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference on the code I've bolded within the code body. Here is my code:
I get this error:Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference.When i compile on the following code section:
Private Sub statusBarToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) ToolStripMenuItem.Checked = Not ToolStripMenuItem.Checked statusStrip1.Visible = ToolStripMenuItem.Checked
I am opening frmB (variable for FormB - the actual form) from frmA. From btn1 I open frmB like this:
frmB = New FormB() frmB.Show()
From btn2 (frmB is already open) I bring frmB to the front from behind frmA:
FormB.Show() FormB.BringToFront().
No problem so far. Now I need to pass an arg to frmB. This is where I am having the problem.
from btn1 (in frmA) I do this:
frmB = New FormB(myArg) '--pass myArg to constructor of FormB -- no problem here frmB.Show()
then from btn2 -- this is where I have the problem
FormB.Show() FormB.BringToFront()
I tried placing myArg in FormB.Show(myArg) but that did not fix the problem. What is the correct way to pass myArg to FormB (frmB) in this scenario? Do I need to share FormB or frmB? How do I do this? "frmB" is frmA level variable.
why i am getting an "reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference" error on format.Yesterday gets the previous days date and presents it in a yyyyMMdd format.vsettlementDates takes the "Yesterday value and requests data from it.
Dim Yesterday As String = format(Today.AddDays(-1), "yyyyMMdd") Dim vSettlementDates As String = (Yesterday)
Error 1 Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference. (on WindowsIdentity.Groups)
Here's my code from that uses the WindowsIdentity.Groups property to display the identity references for the groups the current user belongs to. This code is part of a larger example provided for the WindowsIdentity class.
Public ReadOnly Property Groups As IdentityReferenceCollection Get Dim irc As IdentityReferenceCollection
I have the following code below, how the line where it says : For Each c As councillor In councillorList i get the error: reference to a non shared member requires an object reference. Can someone please advise where i am going wrong? [Code]
Alright, so im getting this error:Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference.This is the bit of code the error is pointing to:My.Settings.Bookmarks.Add(WebBrowser.Url.ToString)Why is it giving me this error?Its saying WebBrowser.Url is the problem.
im sure it is something really simple. Im by no means comfortable with VB. The below code is not mine but i have altered it for my needs. However im getting a couple of errors.
Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference. I have underlined the errors in the code and they all refer to the above description
