Visual Studio hangs when adding reference to wcf service
-
Hi guys, the one department at our offices created a wcf service, when I try to add the web ref to the service in visual studio for my site visual studio hangs, it creates the directory structure under App_WebReferences and just hangs, no errors, if you try to do anything it pops that message up in the taskbar that says visual studio is currently busy with another process, but never finishes, you then have to kill visual studio from task manager. The other department changed all the namespaces on the service incase it might be some conflict with namespace but no joy. So my question is if any one might know what could be causing this or point me in some kind of direction where to look for the problem (and yes I have used google, there are other people experiencing this but know definitive answer or reason) As the service is created by another department I don't have access to the code. Thanks in advance

^ what he said, also, I've run into this when it was a authentication issue. We were using basicHttpBinding with Ntlm credentials, which worked fine in our dev, but had to change Ntlm to Windows (Kerberos) credentials in our production environment.

Yes I have, installed the hotfix for visual studio, made sure all updates were installed and have the service pack for sql server, but no joy, I'm running windows 7 enterprise, not sure if it might reside with that somehow. The strange thing is that if I create a new website, and the first thing I do is add the ref to the service (but I have to change the default structure i.e. com.somewhere.service) it works, but as soon as I try to add it to my existing project VS hangs. Also interesting is that I can then take the ref directory structure in App_Webreferences from the new site, copy it to my existing project and update my web.conf, it then works, until I reboot my machine and start VS up again and it then hangs again and I have to redo the previous step again, I don't want to redo the entire site in the new website as I do not want to miss something that is currently live. Thanks for your help.
