Thanks! Hopefully MS will fix this in a future update.

Maybe as a work-around:

I always use the utility WSDL.exe to generate a class wich can then be used
to call the webservice, no need for a web-reference.

Start a command prompt

call vsvars32.bat in \program files\<Your visual Studio
version>\Common7\Tools\

call WSDL.exe /l:cs http://localhost/myWebService/Service1.asmx?wsdl (or
use /l:vb for vb.net)

Remember to regenerate this class when the webservice changes.

Hope this helps.
Jurjen.

Right click and choose "Add Service Reference".

VS.NET 2008 supports WCF which in turns supports web services.

Dho! I saw that and for some reason I incorrectly thought it was
adding a *Windows* service reference rather than a *Web* reference.
That is what I needed all along... and even better. Looks like we can
now have our lists as generic lists rather than less capable arrays...
and possibly even reuse types between web services (I think... I'll
have to look into that... if so, that'll solve a LOT of problems).

Did you try as follows:

Right click project name in Solution Explorer, then click Add Service
Reference. Click the Advanced... button at the lower left corner of the Add
Service Reference dialog box. This will bring up the Service Reference
Settings dialog box. Click the Add Web Reference... button to add web
reference.
