Connecting to a wsdl in .net

I am trying to connect the following service :

http://api.affiliatewindow.com/v4/AffiliateService?wsdl

I did the following :

  1. Created a new empty web application (c# visual studio 2010)

  2. Right Click on the solution -> add service reference

  3. Pressed "GO"

  4. Changed the name to AffWinAPI and pressed OK

I get the following error : "Failed to generate code for the service reference 'AffWinAPI'. Please check other error and warning messages for details."

I tried the solution suggested in the following and it still haven't worked for me.

Service Reference Error: Failed to generate code for the service reference

What does this WCF error mean: "Custom tool warning: Cannot import wsdl:portType"

Any advice ?

The way I've added web services in the past is via this method:

Notice the use of the advanced button to reach a screen that says add web reference. This will get you the asmx file and class reference you need to use your web service.

In the Advanced dialog of Add Service Reference in Visual Studio, there is a check box "Reuse types in referenced assemblies". Can you un-check it and try adding the service again?

Yes, I got the same error but managed to add it as WebService

Add Service Reference/Advanced/Add Web Reference

If It asks to save, then save it to a folder and add reference using that file

I did the steps you described above, without any errors using VS2012. Check your internet connection and firewall configuration.
