New methods not being exposed

by asdf@asdf.com on 11/15/2007 11:52:00 AM I've just begun programming web services in VS 2005 and I'm having a
problem seeing my new methods being exposed.

For example, when I run the following I still only see the HelloWorld
function despite having added ReturnMainPic to the class.


Imports System.Web
Imports System.Web.Services
Imports System.Web.Services.Protocols

<WebService(Namespace:="http://tempuri.org/")> _
<WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo:=WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)> _
<Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.DesignerGenerated()> _
Public Class Service
     Inherits System.Web.Services.WebService

    <WebMethod()> _
    Public Function HelloWorld() As String
        Return "Hello world"
    End Function
    <WebMethod()> _
    Public Function ReturnMainPic() As String
        Return "C:\Documents and Settings\mypc\My Documents\My
Pictures\fubar.jpg"
    End Function


End Class


On a related note, as I add new functionality to web services, do I
need to delete and re-add the web reference to the web service in
related projects that consume those services?

I seem to recall this being an issue in earlier version of Visual
Studio (with web references not updating with new functionality).

Thanks!

by asdf@asdf.com on 11/16/2007 6:43:00 AM Thanks Big John. Funny thing is I've tried refreshing and even
deleting/re-adding the web reference in the consuming app after build,
to no avail.

Even stranger - when I do a build in the service app and run that app
the service description page it brings up still just lists the
HelloWorld function.

Re: New methods not being exposed

by asdf@asdf.com on 11/16/2007 6:48:00 AM Actually just found closing and re-starting VS fixed it. I was
working with two instances of VS when I had the problem - perhaps
that's one of the known issue situations you mentioned.

Thanks again!
