Hi,

I have created WCF service and consumed it from ASP.Net web application by adding Service reference(“Add Service Reference”) and after creating object of this reference I am able to access methods of WCF service.

I was trying another implementation of consuming WCF service by creating proxy class, for achieving this I followed steps below :

Created WCF Service.
Created Client for consuming WCF service using ASP.Net form.
Added reference of “System.ServiceModel” namespace.
Created proxy class using “Svcutil.exe” with config file.
Added generated proxy file say generatedProxy.vb in ASP.net project.
Tried creating object of proxy class (generatedProxy) but here I am not able to get the proxy class itself.

Please suggest, If I missed out any step.

If your application is not able to find the class, do this:

1. Type the client class name (if you are sure about it).
2. Click somewhere on the class name.
3. Press Ctrl + Shift + F10 and then enter. It will add the necessary namespace.

If this does not works, search for a class name ending with client in the proxy class and use that along with required namespace inclusion.

In a way you have posted the same answer I posted, but you have provided the shortcut to enter the namespace - so 5 for that effort.

Just thought of boasting about me remembering VS shortcuts. :)

I just use Ctrl + . though.

Your steps look ok.
You need to add the namespace of your proxy class in the consumer class (the class that is trying to use the proxy).
