I develped simple WCF service. I ran the service in VS.NET 2008 itself under WCF Test Client. This WCF Test Client shows correct config file and I can execute method in that tool. Also I can access WSDL by going through IE (http://localhost:8731/Design_Time_Addresses/CatalogServiceLibraryTest/CatalogDataProviderService/?wsdl).
But when I try to add Service Reference in VS.NET, it creates empty app.config file and not all types including service proxy classs are generated in proxy.Also if I try to use generated proxy as it is, it gives following warnings.
Warning 1 Custom tool warning: Cannot import wsdl:portType
Detail: An exception was thrown while running a WSDL import extension: System.ServiceModel.Description.DataContractSerializerMessageContractImporter
Error: ISerializable type with data contract name 'CatalogServiceException' in namespace 'http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/XXX.Technology.Services.Catalog.Faults' cannot be imported. The data contract namespace cannot be customized for ISerializable types and the generated namespace 'CatalogServiceClient.ServiceReference1' does not match the required CLR namespace 'XXX.Technology.Services.Catalog.Faults'. Check if the required namespace has been mapped to a different data contract namespace and consider mapping it explicitly using the namespaces collection.
