Using Microsoft WCF Web Service Reference Provider: "Reference cannot be loaded" errors

[rpokrovskij]

Class library AdminkaV1 (.NET Standard 2.0) is referenced in class library "WcfClient" (.NET Standard 2.0) (as well as in WCF App project .NET Framework 4.7). as "Project reference" and want to be used in "Reuse types in referenced assemblies" when Microsoft WCF Web Service Reference Provider (ver 0.5,10808.800, VS 2017) generates proxy.

Expected behavior: classes from AdminkaV1 are reused

Actual behavior: classes from AdminkaV1 where not reused (instead proxy classes were generated), and there are some strange entries in the log.

So the question is: how libraries actually should be referenced to be accessed for "Microsoft WCF Web Service Reference Provider" if not "as project"?

P.S. If I reference AdminkaV1 library as a file (using Browse dialog to debug version) - classes from AdminkaV1 are reused (works nice). So only "project reference" doesn't work... Why?

@rpokrovskij Sorry to hear that you are running into an issue!

Is it possible to provide a repro App to help investigation?

Thanks,

Here it is:

Routines.zip

1. Add it there

2. Discover service and config it this way

3. Errors
