Adding Service References to new C# project

Jonathon_Riley

I'm starting a blank project and trying to add the DocumentManagement.map/.cs and Authentication.map/.cs to my project so I can make use of the methods/data structures in them. I can't figure out how you actually add them. In VS 2008, I go to service References -> add service references and it brings me to a new window where it ask for the address of the services. I try the livelink server, the livelink server followed by /les-services, and my local computer to try to access the services but i always get "an error occured while attempting to find services at ..."

 I'm probably going about this wrong, but if someone could tell me how to add those service references into my program, i'd really appreciate it

thanks in advance

Hi, Jonathon.

If you're running the web services under IIS, the URL will be something like http://localhost/les-services/Authentication.svc (for the Authentication service).  Try putting the URL (with ?wsdl on the end) into a web browser to see if you view the WSDL.

The "les-services" portion might be different if you've used a different name for your virtual directory, depending on how you have it configured.  Of course, the host name and port number can be different as well.

If you're running the web services under Java, the URL will be something like http://localhost:8080/les-services/services/Authentication (for the Authentication service).  Again, you can append ?wsdl to the URL and put it in a web browser to view the WSDL.

thanks,
