Parameters

• pProject
  Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsHierarchy

  The IVsHierarchy for the project where the reference will be added.

• pDiscoverySession
  Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IDiscoverySession

  The IVsDiscoveryService session to use for the metadata download.

• referenceTypesAllowed
  Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.WCFReference.Interop.ServiceReferenceType

  The ServiceReferenceType for the reference; either Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) or or Web services (ASMX) that use ASP.NET.

• pszDialogName
  Type: System.String

  A String that contains the title for the dialog box. Can be Null.

• pExistingReferenceGroup
  Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.WCFReference.Interop.IVsWCFReferenceGroup

  An existing IVsWCFReferenceGroup. Can be Null.

• pszReferenceConfigContents
  Type: System.String

  A String that contains the configuration contents.

• ppReferenceResult
  Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.WCFReference.Interop.IVsAddWebReferenceResult%

  A IVsAddWebReferenceResult object that contains the results. Can be Null if the dialog box was canceled.

• pfCancelled
  Type: System.Int32%

  An Integer specifying whether the dialog box was canceled.

Remarks

The Add Service Reference dialog box allows a user to specify a metadata download address, downloads the service metadata, and displays information about the service.

If the service metadata download is successful and the user closes the dialog box by clicking OK, the consumer of the service (for example the project system) should call the Save method of the returned IVsAddWebReferenceResult object. This causes a new WCF reference to be added to the project and the service proxy to be generated. The IVsAddWebReferenceResult object can also be cached and used to create a service reference later.

ShowAddWebReferenceDialog fails immediately if the project does not support storage service, or VSPROPID_ServiceReferenceSupported property of the project is not true.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to display the Add Service Reference dialog box.

/// Add a service reference to the given project. 
private static IVsWCFReferenceGroup TryAddServiceReference
 (IVsHierarchy hierarchy, IServiceProvider serviceProvider,
 IDiscoverySession discoverySession)
{
    Debug.Assert(serviceProvider != null, "Why are we passing in a NULL
 service provider to a private method?");

    IVsAddWebReferenceDlg3 awrdlg = 
 serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(SVsAddWebReferenceDlg3))
 as IVsAddWebReferenceDlg3;
    IVsAddWebReferenceResult addWebReferenceResult = null;
    int cancelled = 1;

    if (awrdlg != null && hierarchy != null)
    {
        awrdlg.ShowAddWebReferenceDialog( 
            hierarchy, 
            discoverySession, 
            ServiceReferenceType.SRT_WCFReference, 
            null, 
            null, 
            null, 
            out addWebReferenceResult, 
            out cancelled);
    }

    if (addWebReferenceResult != null && cancelled == 0)
    {
        return addWebReferenceResult.Save() as IVsWCFReferenceGroup;
    }
    else
    {
         return null;
    }
}
