Not sure how we can help since we can't see anything you did.

As the error says the url isn't valid. I'm going to take a guess that your url is something like

http://localhost:1234/MyService.asmx

If that's the case then that url is only valid when Visual Studio is running in debug mode, so have two copies of VS open, one with the service running and the other where you add the reference, or don't use the VS webserver but use IIS instead (it's in the project options).
