Comments on: Dealing with WCF Error: Cannot create a service reference with namespace X because the name is already in use by an existing service reference, folder or file http://damianblog.com/2008/12/04/cannot-create-service-reference/ .NET from Geneva, Switzerland Mon, 07 May 2012 06:33:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Jon http://damianblog.com/2008/12/04/cannot-create-service-reference/comment-page-1/#comment-24046 Jon Thu, 14 Apr 2011 13:58:33 +0000 http://damianblog.com/2008/12/04/cannot-create-service-reference/#comment-24046 Hi, The workaround mentioned above didn't work for me. However, if I leave VS2010 and open my solution in Phone Studio Express (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\VPDExpress.exe) a valid reference is made that can then be used back in VS2010. Cheers, Jon Hi,

But in addition to your steps, I also removed my entire obj folder, also I removed my 'Release' folder from bin (leaving just the 'Debug'). Thankyou, you helped me out.
