Unable to reference a web service in VS 2008

[RandyWatson]

Has anyone been able to create a web reference for a Smart Device
application using VS 2008? I can create the web reference,
http://api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl and name it com.google.api.
However, when I try to reference the web service:

Dim x As com.google.api.GoogleSearchResult

I get:

com.google.api.GoogleSearchResult' is not defined.

Following the exact same procedure in VS 2005 works fine.

Have a look at the generated WSDL proxy code and check the namespace.

Here is the WSDL code:

Sorry I meant the C# proxy code generated from WSDL.

Simon,

I not exactly sure this is the file you are referring to but if I
click so all file in Solution Explorer then expand the web service I
only see the wsdl and Reference.map. In VS 2005, which works fine, I
see the wsdl and then Reference.vb, which is a class describing the
web service. The Reference.map file is an xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DiscoveryClientResultsFile xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/
XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<Results>
<DiscoveryClientResult
referenceType="System.Web.Services.Discovery.ContractReference"
url="http://api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl"
filename="GoogleSearch.wsdl" />
</Results>
</DiscoveryClientResultsFile>
