Web Reference Service Error

Question

I am trying to add a web reference service in an ASP.net MVC project. However when I add the service I got following error,

Custom tool error: Unable to import WebService/Schema. The object 'Settings' already contains a property 'FreeLance_Web_VATService_checkVatService' not of type WebServiceUrl. C:\FINALBUILD\User Portal\User.Web\Web References\VATService\Reference.map

Answer 1

Some How the designer.settings.cs had already a service referenced with the same. Once I changed the name of the service and added again, it started working.

Answer 2

I tried all of the above and I still experienced this issue. It turns out that a reference was stored in my app.config. I got rid of it and then re-added the web refences. That fixed the problem.
