I don't want to argue with the gold member but this is how i do it.... (My Service reference is called SRef and is in the same name space as this class.... 1) declare it: public SRef. Service1Client sr; 2) create an object: sr = new SRef. Service1Client ( ); 3) Use the methods like this: returnValue = sr.AddNumbers( num1 num2 ); (FYI: i use netbeans 6.5 and VS2008) Marc

try to add a Web reference and not service reference to your project by pointing to your wsdl document or .Net creates a proxy for you and you can call your webservice through this proxy. To add a web reference you right click the solution and add the web reference by clicking the web reference item

I would do this slightly differntly to you and use a service reference instead of a web reference. - Start your java web service -in c-sharp right click on references and click on new service reference and enter your java service wsdl address -In your c# code create an object of the service reference then you can use it like a normal class. I hope this helps.... Marc
