How to make a Web service implement an interface

[sys]

I have a Web service and I want it to implement an interface that I specified, say IService. So my Web service class looks like this

public class Service1 : System.Web.Services.WebService, IServic

public Service1(

InitializeComponent()
[WebMethod
...
On the client-side I want to use this Web service using my Interface

IService service = new WebService.Service1()

Unfortunately the last code line doesn't work because I get an error message saying that the conversion from WebService.Service1 to IService is not possible. Also an explicit type cast isn't possible
I think the problem is that my automatically generated proxy class for my Web service doesn't implement the interface IService. Do I have to make my proxy class implement the interface? And if yes how (doing it manually works, but my changes are lost the next time I refresh the reference)? Or is there another solution for my problem?

I don't think what you're tyring is possible. The attribute [WebMethod]
defines your external method but thats it, it doesn't define classes or
interfaces. If you want to use an interface on your client, create a wrapper
class around the web service class and impliment your interface there.
