在另一个WCF服务中添加1个WCF服务的服务引用时出现名称空间错误

Question

I am having 2 wcf services as separate project:

1) RegionService

2) CountryService

Project name = RegionService

IRegionService.cs
IRegionService.svc
<%@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="RegionService.RegionService" CodeBehind="RegionService.svc.cs" %>

Project name = CountryService

ICountryService.cs
CountryService.svc
<%@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="CountryService.CountryService" CodeBehind="CountryService.svc.cs" %>

Now I would like to consume methods of Region service from Country Service so I have give service reference of RegionService in my CountryService wcf project but when I build the project I get error:

The type name 'ServiceReference1' does not exist in the type 'CountryService.CountryService'

I guess this is happening because of conflicting project name and svc file name as because previously when my svc file name was different from project name I was able to add service reference successfully.

So is there any workaround for this? I don't want to change name of my files or project as this would lead to changes at lots of places.

Answer 1

When you add ServiceReference change default namespace ServiceReference1 to something else like CountryReference to fix conflict namespace problem.

you are using ServiceReference1 as namespace for both services

Answer 2

After a bit research i came up to this below workaround which worked successfully :

using AliasCountryService = global::CountryService.ServiceReference1;

So now i have replace all CountryService.ServiceReference1 with AliasCountryService which solved my issue.
