Entity Data Model and stored procedures

[zman77]

Hi.
My solution (working in VS 2008) has a C# console app, and a C# web service. The service has an entity data model. It has numerous stored procedures. For one of the stored procs, which just returns data (SELECT blah blah FROM...), I added a function import called "Iservice." I saved all, then in my console app, updated the service reference to my C# service. Now, in my console app, I am trying to do the following:

myEnts db = new myEnts(new Uri("http://localhost:3811/isr.svc");

foreach(st_service sr in db.Iservice(false))
Console.WriteLine("Number#: {0} " + sr.num);

This doesn't work. "Iservice" is the name of the function import I created and I can see it in the object explorer, but when I look at the service reference, I can't see it in the object explorer. The compiler doesn't like "db.Iservice(false)" and the message is that myEnts from the service reference does not containt a definition for "Iservice."

So when I am in the service project, and look at the object explorer, I can see Iservice - however when I look at the service reference in the object explorer, from the console project, I do not see Iservice. How come this happens? How can I fix this? I tried saving, closing, and reloading MSVS2008, I tried updating the service reference multiple times. I googled for examples of calling stored procs in the EDM, and tried different ways of calling it as shown here:

I'd appreciate any help.


PS -- I mean object browser, not explorer, sorry. Also, the stored proc that I created a function import for takes in a BIT as a parameter. When in my service project, and looking at the object browser, it shows Iservice as "Iservice(bool?)" which is strange to me. Why the question mark?
