Answer 1

Have you tried going to that URL in a browser? Can you access it?

The common service is a password-protected WSDL, so you will have to supply your Bing Maps Developer Account ID and password - are these correct?

Are you creating the reference using Visual Studio "Add Web Reference", or using wsdl.exe? (Or svcutil.exe?)

yes i tried to access in browser and i access it in browser.


but when i try to Add Web Reference in VS 2005 i got error.

Answer 3

You'll need to use the wsdl.exe tool and generate it manually to add to the project. The steps are described in the following thread by Mr. Tanoshimi himself.

I am used all above things but th result is same. and can add reference of
https://staging.common.virtualearth.net/find-30/common.asmx?wsdl
or
http://staging.common.virtualearth.net/find-30/common.asmx?wsdl

in application my password and log in name is correct and it work in browser but when  i am adding reference in
visual studio i am getting same error.

Answer 5

Open the Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt (Start->Microsoft Visual Studio 2005->Visual Studio Tools->Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt)

Change to an accessible directory, such as desktop.

Type this:
wsdl /username:yourid /password:yourpw http://staging.common.virtualearth.net/find-30/common.asmx

Switch back to your VS2005 project. Right click on the project and choose Add->Existing Item.

Navigate to the file that was just generated. It should be CommonService.cs.

Now you can use the CommonService just as if you had added the web reference.

Answer 6

it still same behavior and when i try to copy  from Open the Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt (Start->Microsoft Visual Studio 2005->Visual Studio Tools->Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt) that show unauthorized user but when i try same password and user name in browser i a able to access it .

why i can copy this from command prompt and why it not accessible inn VS  when add it in as web reference.

thank u

I'm guessing here, but does your username or password contain any "unusual" characters? (i.e. non-ASCII, unicode, language-specific characters etc.)
What country/culture is your system/browser set to? e.g. en-US?

Just wondering if it's something to do with the way that the username/password gets serialized from Visual Studio, and whether it's failing to correctly send a non-standard character...

Answer 9

Have you tried using an application key instead of client tokens? This will make for faster loading times and does not require a reference to the common service.
