C# web services used by VB.NET application

Hi,

I am developing Pocket PC application in VB.NET.
Within the application we are using web services developed by outsourced team.
They developed the services in C#.

After adding a web reference to web services in my Pocket PC app, I am not
able to compile Smart device solution.
The same web services are used by web application and they work fine there.

Any ideas. I am kind of new to the subject.
The possible problems I can think of:
- some of the objects used in web services are not supported by .NET Compact
Framework
- Can it be caused by the fact that web services are developed in C#, and
Pocket PC app in VB.NET

I’ve got one more question. When I am adding a web reference (I am using
wizard available in VS .NET 2003), can I specify which functions I want to
add (I do need to use maybe 25% of all functions available)

I am going to research Microsoft documentation, but maybe I can get some
hints from here.

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
Thank you,
Greg

A critical piece of information is missing - what errors do you get when
you compile? Saying "I am not able to compile" is almost meaningless
without specific details and specific lines of code that are causing the
compile error.

- some of the objects used in web services are not supported by .NET Compact

This is a possibility, but without details that is only speculation.
- Can it be caused by the fact that web services are developed in C#, and

Not likely, but...

This generates a proxy that you can then edit and remove any functionality
that you don't want. Keep in mind that if you refresh the web reference
that the generated proxy will be recreated with all methods found in the
web class. You may want to consider manually generating the proxy class
rather than using a web reference.

Hi Tom,

Thank you for reply.
I am getting ‘Maximum number of errors has been exceeded”

One of the errors is: “Type 'SerializationI nfo' is not defined.”
As far as I know SerializationIn fo is not supported by .NET Compact Framework
The corresponding code to the error is:

*************** **
Protected Sub New(ByVal info As SerializationIn fo, ByVal context As
StreamingContex t)
MyBase.New
............... ..............
...............
...............
End Sub
***********

Thanks again for reply,
Greg

You are correct that the SerializationIn fo class is not supported by the
..NET Compact Framework. If the webservice requires an object of that type,
then you will not be able to use that webservice with the compact
framework.

Generally on a Windows system the services file (located in Windows\System32\Drviers\Etc\Services) would specify port allocation to different applications. It contains registered ports and dynamic/private ports. This was used to reduce the chance of Port conflicts. This allowed applications to use a port name or alias instead of a number. In WCF, a common paradigm is to allocate your port number in the app.config file of your...
