Unable to Import WebService/Schema

[funkybrown]

When adding a Web Reference to a new project before I even add any code to
test the service I thought i would build the project to see if it would
complie and following error occured:

Custom Tool Error: "unable to import webservice/schema. Uable to import
Binding etc.

This is the first thing i did after importing the web reference.

Could anyone please try with a new project and try to import the reference
if i give the url:

http://europa.eu.int/comm/taxation_c...ckVatPort?wsdl

any help with this will be appreciated???

Regards

The rest of the message is "the element
'urn:europa.eu.int:taxud:vies:services:checkVat:ty pes:checkVat' is
missing" and that's exactly what's wrong. The WSDL doesn't define that
element in that namespace. It *does* define a "checkVat" but in the
"http://www.europa.eu.int/comm/taxation_customs/vies/services/checkVat/types"
namespace (see "targetNamespace" on the <schema>).

Thanks for your help Mork,

Can I ask you, do I just copy the element detail into that namespace and use
a local copy or is this something that the service provider will have to fix.
Sorry to be naive on this its my first go at using a web service.

Thanks again

Yep. You could easily download the WSDL document, make that change
locally and then run wsdl.exe against the modified WSDL document to
generate a new proxy. Chances are one of those namespaces are correct.
I would still let the service provider know so they can fix it.

Thanks again Mork i have sent off an email request to the provider to see if
they can fix the problem with their wsdl document. To be honest I have not
the first clue where to begin editing the doucment and what to include etc.
So i will just hope for them to fix the output.

kind regards

funkybrown,

You're welcome. E-mail me directly if you'd like help changing the
local WSDL and creating a new proxy to test with.
