Question

Cant add Web Reference for web service

Hi all.

I cant seem to add a web reference to an outside web service. I have tested some code in Visual Studio and it all works fine, but now Im importing the code into my dreamweaver website.

I have went to "Window" menu and then "Components", and along the right hand side the components tab opens. It has a drop down list with "Web Services" in it. Underneath it, it says press the "+" button to add the service. But there is no plus button! I have looked at manuals, and it does show a "+" sign beside the drop down box, but its not on my Dreamweaver!

I am using dreamweaver 8. This is a full product as it is at my work.

Any help would be great.

Thanks, Paul.

I did a reinstall of dreamweaver and I can now see the "+" sign along with the proxy of "NET VB" which is great...

However when I stick in the URL it doesnt seem to find it! But it worked fine in .NET, just not Dreamweaver for some reason. Anyone any ideas?

The URL I tried was:
https://secure.yourcarloan.co.uk/pmsuat/webservices/calculate.asmx?op=Detailed

which worked in .NET, not dreamweaver. It comes up with the message "No WSDL or unknown WSDL format at this URL"!

I then tried another URL:
https://secure.yourcarloan.co.uk/pmsuat/webservices/calculate.WSDL

and this says "unable to generate proxy"

Any ideas?

Hi all.

Further to my previous post, I have noticed that my colleagues install of dreamweaver seems to have this "+" sign in the components panel, so I have tried to add the web service to the page using his machine.

But I now come up with a different problem! I click on the "Add using WSDL" from the drop down lost at top, but when I click on the drop down for the "Proxy Generator" there is nothing in it. When I go into the menu to edit the proxy's, I can see the one for ASP.net VB which is the one I would be using, but when I click on "Done" and go back to the page with the WSDL URL and the proxy, nothing is showing in the proxy generator!

Can anyone shed light on this?
