更新WCF服务对VS 2010中WebService问题的引用

Question

My current project is using VS 2010. I'm new to WCF. I've consumed WebServices before but I've never had to generate the actual proxy. The current project I'm working on using WCF service reference to call a web service. Fairly simple and straightforward. I've added a new service reference and everything worked perfectly on the initial setup.

When the WSDL was updated, I simply right-clicked on the service reference and selected "Update Reference". After doing so, there are now duplicate object names with the number '1' appened. So for example:

Initial generate from WSDL results:

GetWidget (getWidgetRequest)
GetWidgets (getWidgetRequest)
GetWidgetGroups (getWidgetRequest)

After updating, I now have this:

GetWidget (getWidgetRequest)
GetWidgets (getWidgetRequest)
GetWidgetGroups (getWidgetRequest)

GetWidget1 (getWidgetRequest1)
GetWidgets1 (getWidgetRequest1)
GetWidgetGroups1 (getWidgetRequest1)

So now I have to use the GetWidget1 method to use the "updated" service method. My questions are:

1. Is there a way to overwrite the previous methods without generating new types to accomodate the update?
2. Do I have to manually clean this up every time the WSDL is updated?
3. Am I updating the service reference incorrectly? Do I need to use the svcutil.exe?

I found 4 files within the service reference ending in .datasource. They all have the new typename (GetWidget1.datasource, GetWidgetGroups1.datasource, etc.). Below is a sample of the contents of the file:

<GenericObjectDataSource DisplayName="GetWidget1" Version="1.0" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdatasource">
   <TypeInfo>GetWidget1, Service References.WidgetService.Reference.cs, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null</TypeInfo>
</GenericObjectDataSource>

You're using vs 2010?

This was a bug in older versions but was fixed in 2010 - see here
