Develop Reference

WCF Data Services is not installed for this target framework. (Set up of WCF Console Application Client)

I am currently trying to set up a WCF Data Service Client using Visual Studio 2013 Desktop. The following guide shows how to set it up as a console application, but every-single-time I try to add a Service Reference VS says:
Unable to add a service reference to the specified OData feed because
WCF Data Services is not installed for this target framework. To install
a supported version of WCF Data Services, see
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=253653.
Is there something I am missing or is it even possible? I've added and tried multiple different different References for the WCF data to no avail. Suggestions?

Though op question has been resolved, I am adding this answer so that it can help any other with the same problem.
The solution is to to download and install WCF Data Service RTM Tools as suggested in link provided by Microsoft in error itself.

Secure WSDL for Metro Style Apps

I have some web services that I need to reference in a Windows 8 Metro style application, normally you can just add a reference to the service via VS2012, but the services are behind a security layer.
I have downloaded the .WSDL file to my local PC, and now I need to generate the class file for this service.
The WSDL.exe that I have found on my local PC is for .NET 4.0 and produces code that is not suitable for the .NETCore framework. Is there a WSDL.exe equivalent for Windows 8 apps?
Visual Studio 2012 can obviously add a reference to non-secure asmx WSDL web services, so the functionality must be somewhere.

As per little investigation, the original .NET 1.x asmx-based Web Reference proxies are not supported in Metro style apps.
Web Service with SOAP 1.1 end point is supported by Add Service Reference (right-click on a project and choose Add Service Reference) in Metro style apps.
A workaround should be remove the offending constructor that fails to build (unfortunately, you'll need to do that everytime you regenerate the code), and to pass an instance BasicHttpBinding and EndpointAddress to one of the constructors of the WSFTerminalsSoapClient.
Have a look at following references, which might help you in this regard:

WCF in Windows 8 Metro styled apps? Absolutely supported

I found out how to do this if anyone is interested.
You simply download the XML WSDL file from the site via a normal browser.
Then in VS2012, you can add a service reference to that file directly (i.e. put in the full path to the file c:\tmp\mywsdl.xml) and it will be able to generate the proxy for you.

How do I consume an existing webservice in ASP.NET?

I need to consume an existing web service in ASP.net.
The documentation of the website that provides the web servicesays that I have to use WSDL.exe to generate a stub, but I can't find this tool.
I also tried the Add web reference wizard in Visual Studio 2010 (VS2010), but if I paste the URL in, VS2010 doesn't work anymore.
What am I missing?

As far as I remember there should be a choice between .net 2.0 and WCF services.
Try to select .net 2.0 web service type. We had to do it for using SOAP web services running on Python.

You might also try using the Add Service Reference Wizard instead - worked for me for WebServices the Web Reference Wizard did not like quite as much. Make sure to use the link to either the asmx (if it's one) or the .wsdl

As far as I know, you can't create SOAP webservice with .net 4. When you creating new project, you need to choos .net 3.5 or earlier first, and then create project.
As for creating stub from existing wsdl, I don't know how to do it.

consume gsoap webservice from .NET client

From a .NET application, how do I consume a Web Service developed using gSoap c/C++ library?
I can create a C/C++ client using gSoap library to consume the web service. But I need to consume it from within a .NET (C#) application. I tried Adding a Web Reference but that doesn't seem to work.
Would I need to work with raw Soap Packets?

You can try to call the Web Service dinamically (without adding the reference)

You can also try to build a WCF client, and generate the managed source code file for a proxy using the ServiceModel Metadata Utility Tool (Svcutil.exe).
How to: Create a Windows Communication Foundation Client
Finally, the ProxyFactory project lets you build the proxy classes without WCF

The reason Web reference was not working was the hand crafted WSDL. It worked fine with gSoap library and gSoap C/C++ code generrator nut not with VS. With some changes in the way WSDL was written, I am now able to consume the gSoap C/C++ web service by adding a Web Reference in Visual Studio and also by using HTTP GET method.
Steps taken -
Instead of adding Web reference, use wsdl.exe in verbose mode to generate code using thee gSoap WSDL and XSD file
change the WSDL file to resolve any error and warnings reported by wsdl.exe
Once wsdl.exe can successfully generate code using the WSDL, you can now use VS add web / service reference wizard

An operation can have only one in or out header of a given type?

Situation: I am trying to consume a clients web service for CC authorization. They are not publishing the WSDL file on there site, but they have provided the WSDL file. I am using Visual Studio 2005 and creating a web application that consumes the web service.
The only reference to this error that seems to apply is here: http://followtheheard.blogspot.com/2007/12/consuming-web-services.html. I installed WSE3.0 and configured my project to use WSE and am calling the WSE version of the web reference and I am still getting this error. Any help would be appreciated.

Apparently there is poor interoperability between web services written in Java requiring WSE and Visual Studio 2005. Upgrading to Visual Studio 2008 allows for easier use of the WSE3.0 toolset.
