but nothing changed.

I need help...

 

Answer 1

Hello Cerik,

This problem happens when you install Visual Studio 2005 and then immediately follow that up with installing WSE3.0 without first launching VS.NET by itself. Ensure that you start Visual Studio 2005 before you go to install WSE 3.0.

There are a couple things you can try to correct this problem

1. Open a command prompt to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\". At this command prompt run the following command to re-register the WSE add-in.

         devenv.exe /resetaddin WseSettings.Connect /command File.Exit

2. (sounds like you already tried this option) - Copy the file found at "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\Addins\WSESettingsVS3.Addin" to the Visual Studio folder here "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Addins"

If this doesn't work then can you tell me what version of Visual Studio .NET 2005 you're using? Is it Standard, Professional, Team Suite, etc?

How about Visual Studio 2008?

Answer 3

Hi Todd,

On my machine, I have Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition & Visual Studio 6.0.
I also have .NET framework 1.1 SDK and .NET framework 2.0 SDK. After installing WSE 3.0 for Microsoft .NET, I can't see the wse setting in  Visual Studio 2005 either. Also, I can't find WSESettingsVS3.Addin in my local drive. I don't even have folder MSEnvShared\Addins. Everything wrong with my WSE installation?

Thanks,
yulinxp

Answer 4

WSE 3.0 is not supported in Visual Studio 2008.

 

Answer 5

Copy C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Datos de programa\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\Addins\WSESettingsVS3.Addin
to
"C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Addins"

Enjoy.

Answer 6

It's still not supported, which is still a fairly strong hint that WSE is obsolete. All new work requiring the features of WSE should use WCF instead. WCF is WSE, all grown up.

Everything is ok, we can use WCF instead of WSE. But what about if i have modeled webservice using WSDL in somethig tool (for example XML Spy). Is there any way to implemet WCF service using WSDL file?
I try to do some reasearch but don't find good solutions. In WCF, everywhere says: "WSDL is one of the type WCF output". So what to do?

Answer 8

 I'm not a WCF expert, and I'd direct you to the WCF forum at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=118&SiteID=1 to find the experts. But I can tell you that the WCF tool you're looking for is ServiceModel Metadata Utility Tool (Svcutil.exe).


I should add that WCF permits you to do contract-first development without using a WSDL.
