I'm unable to create a wcf proxy. I've tried using the wsdl mentioned 
in Paul Horan's example for movie times and also tried one for a daily 
dilbert. After specifying the proxy assembly name and proxy library I 
click on the next button and get the following message:  "The system 
cannot find the file specified" and consequently no services are shown 
in the next step. I've copy and pasted the url in a browser and see the 
wsdl so I know the syntax is ok. What else could it be?

Thanks,
Mark

Hmmm...  It just worked for me again.  That URL is: 
http://www.ignyte.com/webservices/ignyte.whatsshowing.webservice/moviefunctions.asmx?wsdl

Are you pointing to the URL, or did you save the WSDL as a local file?  That 
error message makes me think you're looking for a .WSDL file...
Either one works, but be careful when saving WSDL to a file, because IE puts 
in the + signs from it's custom stylesheet, and PB doesn't like those...

The Daily Dilbert site has been down for over a year.  I don't think it's 
coming back...

  Hi Paul,

I tried pointing to the url and saving a local copy without success. I 
just pasted in your url and got the same message. The dilbert one was 
the only other one I could think of until I read your bushism article a 
few minutes ago. I tried that one and got the same message.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Mark

I got the same thing on one machine and finally realized it was because
I didn't have a current enough copy of the windows sdk on the machine. 
Pb is looking for the svcutil.exe file from the sdk.  That's the file
it's reporting it can't find.  I've put in a cr to get them to provide a
more meaningful message.

  I just downloaded and installed the .net framework 2.0 sdk from ms. 
Still no luck. The closest thing I have to svcutil.exe is 
datasvcutil.exe in the 3.5 and 4.0 framework folders. Which 2.0 
framework download contains the svcutil.exe?

No, it does not.  Wcf was introduced in .net 3.5.  You have to have that
sdk at a minimum to use wcf.  I would recommend using the windows sdk
for windows 7 that includes 3.5 and 4.0

You also need to check to see what it's installing.  I noticed that the
defaults on one machine I installed it to did not include the .net
developer stuff, I had to add it manually.

  Sorry Bruce I didn't know wcf was a 3.5 thing. I'm still trying to 
make the pb to .net transition. I installed the win7 sdk but it didn't 
install the svcutil.exe program. I reinstalled the 3.5 and still no 
luck. Having downloaded, installed and reinstalled every framework 
version I could find I finally punted and downloaded the VS 2008 Express 
Edition. Low and behold I get the coveted svcutil.exe. I'm not sure why 
I had to go through this just to create a wcf client proxy but I hope 
I'm the exception. Nonetheless thanks for pointing out the file I needed 
to continue following Paul's example.

Are you sure you were installing the SDK?  The framework itself comes
seperate.

The SDK is available from the Windows SDK site:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/bb980924.aspx

Typo on my part earlier, WCF was introduced in .Net 3.0.

  That was yesterday. I would not swear that I installed the specific 
sdk you are referring too. I can tell you I saw several .net and sdk 
installs in my add/remove programs list. I can say with absolute 
certainty that I downloaded and installed the .net 4 framework which  
appears to be bundled with an sdk, maybe not the right one though.

I'll forgive your typo. I'm not one to snipe. :)
