Referenced WebService not showing up when I attempt to debug my code

I am in the process of attempting to consume a WCF webservice in my application, but after adding the service reference and the appropriate using statement, I am unable to compile my code, and I get the following error 11 times with 11 line numbers:

Error   7   The type name 'SignOnService' does not exist in the type 'FTXService.FTXService'    C:\Users\bdugan\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\FTXService\FTXService\Service References\SignOnService\Reference.cs   130 20  FTXService

I know the service exists since I have used it in PHP in the past, but I can't seem to figure out why it isn't working. Here is Reference.cs:

Any ideas?

There is a class in the service called FTXService, embedded in a namespace also called FTXService. When generating a client proxy out of that service, the service generator of Visual Studio messes up. It generates code that seems to reference to the re-occurring namespace used in the servicerefence instead of the service class method to be called.

To solve this, rename the class of your service implementation to (for example) FTXServiceImpl and regenerate your client proxy (remove and add your service reference in the client project).

---

When you use the Add Service Reference dialog in Visual Studio it usually asks you to specify a namespace. By default it is ServiceReference1. It also generates strongly typed proxy client classes that usually end up with. So the client proxy might look something like this:

using (var client = new ServiceReference1.SomeNamespace.SignOnServiceClient())
{
    ...
}

Simply right click on the generated service proxy and browse the source code to see what classes exactly were created.

---

According to the Reference.cs you posted the service client is called SignOnClient so you'll want something like:

var client = new SignOnClient();

Or to fully-qualify it:

var client = new FTXService.SignOnService.SignOnClient();

In other words the type SignOnService does not exist in the namespace (this is what the error is telling you) but SignOnClient does.
