I have an example of batched geo coding that was written for .NET 2.0. It uses the following URL: https://mappoint-cds.live.com/CustomerData-30/CustomerDataService.asmx I have a .NET 3.5 project and I need to generate Service Reference in Visual Studio project for that URL, but I keep getting an error message about user anonymous. I don't see any way to supply user id and password in visual studio dialog. I am trying to use WCF instead of .NET 2.0 webservices API if that makes any difference. Error Message: There was an error downloading 'https://mappoint-cds.live.com/CustomerData-30/CustomerDataService.asmx'. The request failed with HTTP status 400: Bad Request. Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'https://mappoint-cds.live.com/CustomerData-30/CustomerDataService.asmx'. The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous'. The authentication header received from the server was 'Digest qop="auth", realm="MapPoint", nonce="5e073d737f8ee0ce420429612100aba7ba36a4d7a54649df3f1787b2cdfc"'. The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized. If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.
Hi, I believe that the infamous "400: Bad Request" error frequently appears when you try to get a web reference off the CDS asmx web service in VS 2005. What I've found works is that you download the .wsdl locally and make the web reference off your local copy. The CDS service rarely gets updated so this workaround should be okay but just keep in mind if it does ever get updated you'll need to download another copy and re-run the process for VS 2005.
