Hi Steve,
From your description, you're encoutering some problem when try adding
reference against a webservice ,correct?
Based on the code snippet and error info you provided, you're using the
wsdl.exe to generate proxy from commandline. Also, the following url
indicate that you're trying to generate proxy code against SQL Server
reporting service webservice, it that correct?
http://localhost/_vti_bin/ReportServer/ReportService2006.asmx?WSDL
I've performed some simple test on my side, seems the WSDL.exe and add
webreference(in Visual Studio) can correctly generate the proxy code. The
problem you encounterred might be a specific one. I suggest you try the
following things to verify whether the WSDL document is correctly published:
1. you can use webbrowser to visit the "ReportService2006.asmx" page to see
whether it can display the Webservice info and WSDL document correctly
2. Try using visual studio "Add WebReference" to generate the proxy.
IMO, it does be likely a configuration/publishing issue at the server-side.
If there is any other findings, welcome to post here.
Sincerely,
Steven Cheng

Steven,
In fact if you read the title of the thread it said
UNABLE TO ADD WEB REFERENCE IN VISUAL STUDIO 2008
That means I am trying to add a web reference and Visual Studio itself is
throwing the error about
> >C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC>wsdl.exe
> >http://localhost/_vti_b
[quoted text clipped - 14 lines]
> > - Root element is missing.
> >- Report from 'XML Schema' is 'Root element is missing.'.
Hope that makes it clear.
In response to your test to
browse to the page in browser
if I go to
http://localhost/_vti_bin/ReportServer/ReportService2006.asmx
I get the supported operations, but if I add ?WSDL
I just get a blank screen. If it is an error on the server side do you have
any suggestions how to fix it please. It is a MOSS Site that I am using Deep
Integration with SSRS.

Thanks for your reply Steve,
Well, from the webbrowser behavior, that means the wsdl page doesn't
display. Also, the further information about MOSS integrated is very
important. I think the problem is likely due to the MOSS integrated
envirionment. I'll do some further research on this and let you know if I
get any new information.

Hi Steve,
After discussing with other SQL Engineers, they think that the problem is
likely due to the SSRS integration with SPS has something not configured
correctly. They'll suggest you try go through the steps for configuring
reporting service with MOSS/WSS, here I pasted the suggested steps from
them:
STEP 1:
-----------
Installing Reporting Services:
========================
We can install SQL 2005 Server with all the features or install just the
Reporting
Services. In order to get the integration feature in Reporting Services we
need to
install SP2 for Reporting Services.
Installing MOSS / WSS3.0 on Reporting Services SERVER1
==============================================
Install MOSS / WSS3.0 on SERVER1.
Installing SharePointRS Add-in:
=========================
Download the Add-in
<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=1E53F882-0C16-4847
-B331-132274AE8C84&displaylang=en>
We need to install the Add-in on SERVER1
STEP2:
----------
Create New Web App on the MOSS / WSS3.0 server:
==========================================
We need to create Web App before we could configure any thing Further.
Configuring Reporting Services for SharePoint Integration:
==============================================
- Open ?onfigure Report Server?from the SERVER1.
- From ?eport Server Virtual Directory?Create a new Web Site for Report
Server with a Different Port.
- We can Skip the ?eport Manager Virtual Directory?
- From ?indows Service Identity?Use the SharePoint Services account to
configure the ?indows Service Identity?
- From ?eb Service Identity?created a new AppPool for the Report Server web
site. Make sure you use the SharePoint Services account.
- Next step is to create a Reports Database on the Database Server. While
creating a New Reports Database make sure you create it with ?harePoint
Integrated?Mode.
- Once all these steps are complete the ?harePoint Integration?shows up
with tick next to saying that the integration is configured with SharePoint.
Now to confirm the configuration browse to the reports server web site
which you created Ex : <http://SERVER1:8080/ReportsServer>
You now should be able to browse to the report server and it should display
the web app which we created earlier.
Configure SharePoint Central Administrator Site for Reporting Services:
========================================================
- From the Application management -> Reporting Services -> Click on ?anage
Integration Settings?
- Type in the report server URL and Select Windows Authentication. Click
OK- Now select the ?rant Database Access?and then type in the Reporting
Services Server name and then click OK. Then it would prompt for User name
and password. Specify the user account. This account I used to retrieve the
Reporting services from the SERVER1. I would use the SharePoint Services
account since I have using a sigle account for integrating.
- Click on the ?et Server Defaults?you should see the defaults value for
the Reporting Services.
Configure the SQL Reporting Services Web Part on the Portal:
=================================================
Now we can add the SQL Reporting Services Web and you should be able to get
it working fine.

Hi Steven,
Thanks for your posting. In fact everything was already set up and the only
thing I ended up doing was removing the failed Web Reference and re adding it
with a different name. Doing that a couple of times then made it work!
Dont understand why really!
