Web Service problem

09-09-2008 10:59 AM |

I'm trying to use a webservice, but I get an error when I try to compile my Silverlight project:

"The type or namespace name 'schema' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"

If I understand it right (please correct me otherwise) Silverlight does not support DataSet.The web service has several methods, some of which returns a DataSet. I do NOT try to call these methods, but maybe that is still the problem?

To rule out those webmethods, comment them out then try to recompile the service. I think they should still compile uncommented, but try that to start.

I'm afraid I can't do that since the web service is not mine. I'm just using it...

Do you know if the webservice is basicHttpBinding and not wsHttpBinding

Even if you don't call the methods, your service reference will still try to autogen the (uncompilable) code to use them.  You might be able to get away with manually editing the necessary files, but it would take some work, and each time you had to update the reference you'd have to re-edit the same files.

Hopefully someone here is able to tell you otherwise, but I don't think you'll be able to use the service directly.
