I'm walking along through Don Smith's web service factory webcast and I'm receiving an error after I complete the Create Service Contract wizard.

Here's the webcast:
http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/WebCastEventDetails.aspx?EventID=1032300720&EventCategory=5&culture=en-US&CountryCode=US

I downloaded the last versions of Guidance Automation and the Web Service Factory (also can we move the web service factory code/community over to codeplex? gotdotnet doesn't seem to cut it)

Here's the error message I am receiving:

Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.ActionExecutionException: An exception occurred during the binding of reference or execution of recipe GenerateASMXServiceContract. Error was: Action ImplementInterfaceMembers failed to execute:

I'm referring to the forums here:

http://www.gotdotnet.com/codegallery/messageboard/messageboards.aspx?id=6fde9247-53a8-4879-853d-500cd2d97a83

They're monitored by team members of the Services Factory so you shouldget better luck than using the GAX/GAT forums.

This really looks like an error specific to that factory and not GAX or GAT. Have you tried the Service Factory forums?

I haven't tried the forums, well unless you're speaking of gotdetnet site and well, that site just seems to break for me all the time. I can't evevn read a post. I guess I'll try using IE vs firefox.

But thanks for the feedback... what forums were you referring to?
