Is a web service reference the proxy class itself? Or is it the classes created inside that you see in object explorer when you look at your web service reference?
example, I created this web service reference

I assume ServiceAuthResponse is one proxy class inside my web service reference?
When you add the WebService reference a proxy class is generated for you.
In your example it looks like LitleWebService will be your service proxy, ServiceAuthResponse sounds more like a data contract that will be used by the service. If you read about the Proxy Design Pattern it may be of some interest
Normally you proxy will inherit from ClientBase, this is where you can specify the service contract.
public class MyProxy : ClientBase<IServiceContract>, IServiceContract

I consuming web service by proxy class generated from wsdl file. Main class is inherits from SoapHttpClientProtocol. In description of this web service I have an annotation
"Service invocation context. Implemented in the form ws-security
custom token"
I belive is it means that I need add wss security header and actually, I don't know how to go about it. Can I find aleary method or properties inherited from SoapHttpClientProtocol class to do it? Maybe I should consume this web service without the proxy class?
I have service now wfc services in my application each service has different base class
public partial class ServiceNowSoapClient : SNtoVSTSIntegration.SNInterfaceIncident.ServiceNowSoap
public partial class ServiceNowSoapClient : SNInterfaceAttachmentMetadata.ServiceNowSoap
The problem is that there's no simple base class for a WCF Web Service
how to create generic class which return me object of ServiceNowSoapClient
Is ther any way to do this?
Different service base addresses correspond to different service endpoint addresses. We must specify the service endpoint address when instantiating the client proxy, so there is no way to implement a generic class for all service proxy classes.
Besides, Channel Factory also can encapsulate the creation of a client proxy.

Feel free to let me know if there is anything I can help with.
I have created a SOAP service.
Now i want to consume it in a c# client application. I added the service using 'Add service reference' and service reference is added to client.
All my service entities are in service. And in current scenerio i can't move them to a common library.
Problem is, my service endpoint is accepting List<Foo> as parameter.
Foo has a method Boo.
In client, when i try to Foo.Boo() i get Cannot resolve symbol Boo error.
Unfortunately only methods on the service itself are exposed via a SOAP web service, methods on objects used as parameters or return values are not. If the method relates to a server-side operation then you could expose it at the service root level taking the instance object as parameter, or if it relates to a client-side operation you could consider adding it as a client-side extension method.
I have a WCF Service. I add reference of a DLL in the WCF service.Now ddl has a class, i'm able to get access of the class at WCF client side by using the serviceknowntypeattribute but not the functions inside the class.Any solution?
I'm guessing that You are using autogenerated code (by Add Service Reference in Visual Studio).
This creates a stub for your class (only a container) but it is not actually your class.
To use your actual class in client code you must reference it in client project and in service reference advanced options make sure you have 'use types from referenced assemblies' checked.
At client side, I have this class without [DataContract]:
public class UserEntity
{
public string login;
public string password;
}
when I put [DataContract] and refresh the reference of this class at WCF side, then I can't initiate the web service. It says an error:
cannot create metadata...
What's wrong?
Are you sure that you actually know, why you can't refresh the reference? I mean you add [DataMember] - and it fails, you remove it - it works? Or it works several days ago and now you add [DataMember] (and many other stuff) and it not works now?
But anyway, the easiest way to solve "refresh reference" issues - to refresh reference manually with SvcUtil.exe. In this case error message would be much more descriptive the simple "oops! error!".
What is client and server side in your case? What is refreshing reference on the WCF side? Your description is very uncommon. Here is description how to create service with complex data type and WCF Class library:
Create WCF class library
Add data contract to the class library
Add service to class library
Implement service contract and service in the class library
Add host project
Reference WCF class library from host project
Host service from class library in host project
Add Metadata endpoint to your hosted service
Create client project
Run the host project outside the visual studio
Use Add service reference to create proxy on WCF service hosted in your host project
Implment code to call your service through created proxy
As you see there is no modification of data contract on the client side and no refreshing WCF service.
