     Hello.

    I am trying to add a Web reference to a project.  So, I do the standard: right clicking on the project and select "Add Web Reference". The Add Web Reference appears and I navigate to the desired URL "http://ws.melissadata.com/dqws/Address.asmx" and click "Go".  I see the results and two methods in the window.  However,  the "Add Reference" button and " Web Reference Name" texbox is disabled.  I think this is a proxy and or firewall issue.  If I know the System.Net.WebProxy("corp-xxx-proxy.xxx", 8080);  and System.Net.NetworkCredential("xxxx", "xxxx"); [x replaces real values]

     Any ideas where I can set this info so I will be able to use the "Add Web Reference" wizard?  - OR - Is there a workaround?

     

    thanks

    YIKES!!!

    Even though I tried multiple web service sites, I still come up with the same problem.  However, I thought of trying HTTPS rather than HTTP in the URL and now it works.  Probably some kind of proxy security.

     

    Hopes this helps someine in the future.

    Ah!  play more attentions on your URLs , the local one or  on the server ,they are directly different.!

     Before you add your Web Reference ,pls check it first!

    to be a good coder
