C# – Service Reference Error: Failed to generate code for the service reference

cnetservice-referencevisual studio 2010web services

I have a Windows Service Solution and am trying to add a service reference to a Hermes(Opensource ebms message server) Web Service in VS2010.

I can find the Web Service using it's URL, but when I try and populate the Service reference I get the following errors in Visual Studio:

Error 8 Custom tool error: Failed to generate code for the service reference 'testService'.  Please check other error and warning messages for details. C:\Users\Admin\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\MyProject\MyProject.MessageHandler\Service References\testService\Reference.svcmap 1 1 MyProject.MessageHandler

Some investigation seemed to suggest it is due to svcutil.exe not been able to build the proxys due to not having permissions to a directory (possibly c:\windows\temp). I have tried assigning various access permissions, but I am not really sure which user needs the permission, or if it is just a red herring.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Have to uncheck the Reuse types in all referenced assemblies from Configure service reference option

Check this for details
