I think you are not exactly correct here.
The following article describes how to solve the problem that you mention
(but not the one I want to solve).

Hi,

I have similar issue sharing types between the web services, and also the
client consuming those web services. I have all my custom types defined in a
seperate assembly and I am using those types as parameter/ return values in
web methods. I am refering to those custom types in .asmx files using a using
directive for that assembly(name space). But when the proxy is generated when
added a web reference(or WSDL tool), those types r geting redefined in the
proxy classes with their own namespace.

If I remove those defenitions manually and put a using directive at the top
before the class definiton, there is no incompatibility issue between the
types. But I need to happen this manually(specifying using directive for the
assembly containing custom types, instead of REDEFNING them) as I have
several such web services and this manual process is getting even worse
whenever there r any updates to those web service's implementation.

Any ideas how to solve this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kris
