    <p>After googling a bit there is no definite answer of whether Visual Studio 2008 uses svcutil.exe or not? Visual Studio 2005 did use it, but do the RTM versions of Visual Studio 2008 use svcutil? A few blogs say it doesn't (and make it seem surprising) </p> <ul> <li><a href="http://blog.donnfelker.com/2008/12/02/svcutil-vs2008/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">SVCUtil &amp; VS2008</a></li> <li><a href="http://geekswithblogs.net/DavidBarrett/archive/2008/06/30/equivalent-svcutil.exe-command-for-vs2008-add-service-reference.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Equivalent svcutil.exe command for VS2008 Add Service Reference</a></li> <li><a href="http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/oshvartz/archive/2008/09/06/svcutil-generating-wcf-client-and-the-is-field-specified-issue.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">SVCUtil Generating WCF client and the is field specified issue</a></li> </ul> <p>and other sites say it does.</p> <p>The reason I'm asking is we are flattening our WCF wsdl with a custom endpoint behavior extension (an implementation of IWsdlExportExtension/IEndpointBehavior) and using the flattened wsdl via Visual Studio 2008's Add Reference gives us compile errors as it is duplicating Types/Classes. The reference is added without any errors. SvcUtil, on the other hand, throws the duplicate class into a seperate namespace which fixes the build issue.</p> <p>So SvcUtil works, but Visual Studio 2008 doesn't on some of our flatten wsdls. We are fine with continueing to use svcutil if the Add Service Reference in Visual Studio doesn't work, but are wondering if anyone knows if there are any implications in doing so. I couldn't find any evidence that we "shouldn't" be using svcutil, just that it isn't as easy as using the Add Service Reference in Visual Studio 2008.</p>

    1. COThere is a disadvantage. If your WSDL is accessible over HTTPS and the certificate is "invalid" (expired or generated for another hostname - say your on a cluster and your admins did a poor job :) VS will let you ignore the issue and ask you if you want to continue while svcutil.exe will not work at all (except the hostname issue which can be worked around by tweaking svcutil.exe.config file).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
