这个 WCF 错误是什么意思: “自定义工具警告: 无法导入 wsdl: portType”

我在我的解决方案中创建了一个 WCF 服务库项目,并且有对此的服务引用。我使用来自类库的服务,因此除了类库之外,还有来自 WPF 应用程序项目的引用。服务是直接设置的,只需更改即可获得异步服务功能。

一切都很好,直到我想更新我的服务参考。它失败了,所以我最终回滚并重试,但即使那样它还是失败了!因此,更新服务引用失败而不对其进行任何更改。为什么? !

我得到的错误是这样的:

Custom tool error: Failed to generate code for the service reference
'MyServiceReference'.  Please check other error and warning messages for details.

警告提供了更多信息:

Custom tool warning: Cannot import wsdl:portType
Detail: An exception was thrown while running a WSDL import extension:
System.ServiceModel.Description.DataContractSerializerMessageContractImporter
Error: List of referenced types contains more than one type with data contract name 'Patient' in
namespace 'http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/MyApp.Model'. Need to exclude all but one of the
following types. Only matching types can be valid references:
"MyApp.Dashboard.MyServiceReference.Patient, Medski.Dashboard, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" (matching)
"MyApp.Model.Patient, MyApp.Model, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" (matching)
XPath to Error Source: //wsdl:definitions[@targetNamespace='http://tempuri.org/']/wsdl:portType[@name='ISomeService']

还有两个类似的警告说:

Custom tool warning: Cannot import wsdl:binding
Detail: There was an error importing a wsdl:portType that the wsdl:binding is dependent on.
XPath to wsdl:portType: //wsdl:definitions[@targetNamespace='http://tempuri.org/']/wsdl:portType[@name='ISomeService']
XPath to Error Source: //wsdl:definitions[@targetNamespace='http://tempuri.org/']/wsdl:binding[@name='WSHttpBinding_ISomeService']

同样的道理:

Custom tool warning: Cannot import wsdl:port ..

I find this all confusing.. I don't have a Patient class on the client side Dashboard except the one I got through the service reference. So what does it mean? And why does it suddenly show? Remember: I didn't even change anything!

现在,解决这个问题的方法是找到 给你,但是没有解释这意味着什么。因此,在服务的“配置服务引用”中,我取消选中“重用类型在被引用的程序集中”复选框。现在重建工作一切顺利,没有问题。但我到底改变了什么?这会对我的申请产生影响吗?什么时候应该取消检查呢?我确实希望重用已经设置了 DataContracton 的类型,但仅此而已。不检查这个,我还能拿到吗?

When you add a service reference, there are two ways the types that are used by the service can be handled:

  • The types are stored in a dll, and that dll is referenced from both the client and the server application.
  • The types are not in a dll referenced by the client. In that case the tool that creates the service reference, will create the types in the references.cs file.

There are many things that can go wrong. We have found that if the tool crashes, it is sometimes faster to delete the service reference and start again.

We have stopped using service reference. For projects where we have control of the client and the service, we use the method described in this screencast.

Go to Advanced properties while adding reference and remove "System.Window.Browser" from the checklist, It solves the problem.

I also had this issue Today. It took me one entire day to find my mistake. Hope it helps.

My class that weren't able to be imported has a cutom enum type property. This property is marked as DataMember and the Enum is also marked as DataContract. Everything fine so far. I just forgot to mark every enum member as EnumMember.

So i changed

[DataContract]
public enum SortMethodType
{
Default = 0,
Popularity = 1,
ReleaseDate = 2,
PublishedDate = 3,
TranslatedTitle = 4,
OriginalTitle = 5,
UserRating = 6,
Duration = 7
}

To this:

[DataContract]
public enum SortMethodType
{
[EnumMember]
Default = 0,
[EnumMember]
Popularity = 1,
[EnumMember]
ReleaseDate = 2,
[EnumMember]
PublishedDate = 3,
[EnumMember]
TranslatedTitle = 4,
[EnumMember]
OriginalTitle = 5,
[EnumMember]
UserRating = 6,
[EnumMember]
Duration = 7
}

And it finally worked!

I found my answer here: http://www.lukepuplett.com/2010/07/note-to-self-don-let-wcf-svcutil-reuse.html

Long story short: I unchecked Reuse types in reference assemblies from the Advanced menu.


I don't know if this matters but i'm not using MVC, but Web Forms.

My interfaces of the WCF service are in an assembly, the implementation is in an another and the service reference is in yet another assembly, separate from the clients of the service reference. I got the error message right after I applied the DataContract to an enum. After I applied EnumMember to the fields of the enum, the issue resolved.

that might sound weird, but I got it fixed by deleting the references, then closing Visual Studio, and reopening it again, and finally adding the references again.

I think the custom tool thing needed to be restarted or something.

I constantly run across this error while it works on another developers machine. Even though I'm a full admin everywhere in my virtual machine, I tried closing Visual Studio, and re-opening with 'Run As Administrator' and it magically worked.

Good luck.

If in doubt that your service doesn't have any problems (such as problems with enums, or non-serializable classes as mentioned by others) then try to create a new project with a new reference.

I am using Silverlight 5 and I had tried to delete and recreate the reference several times. The reference.cs file just came up completely empty each time and it had been literally years since I'd created it so trying to figure out what had changed in the service was out of the question.

I noticed that the error contained references to 2.0.5.0. Now I don't even know if this is actually relevant to the Silverlight version, but it made me think of just creating a brand new project and then suddenly everything worked.

Warning 2 Custom tool warning: Cannot import wsdl:portType Detail: An exception was thrown while running a WSDL import extension: System.ServiceModel.Description.DataContractSerializerMessageContractImporter Error: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Xml, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e' or one of its dependencies.

I was looking over my project and I was having this same issue. It turned out to be different versions of the same DLL on the WCF vs. Web Site. Web site had a newer version of the DLL and the service was referencing an older version of the DLL. Once they were all in sync all worked well.

One downside of turning off 'reuse types in referenced assemblies' is that it can cause issues with ambiguous references. This is due to the service reference creating those objects again in the reference .cs file, and your code implementing the service may be referencing them from the original namespace.

When this scenario occurs I find it useful to check the 'reuse types in specified referenced assemblies' which allows me to choose the ones with ambiguous references only, which resolves the issue quickly that way.

Hope it helps someone else.

I experienced the same error. I struggled for almost a day trying to find out what was going wrong. The clue for me were the warnings that VS was throwing. It was trying to do some kind of mapping to Yahoo.Yui.Compressor.dll, a library I had added and removed (because I decided not to use it) a couple of days before. It was shocking because the library wasn't there, but somehow it was trying to reference it.

Finally, I restore this dll from the Trash, and then I could update my service reference successfully.

For anyone here in the future, I had the same error but caused by version issues, in two different ways.

I have two WCF services and two client applications that talk via the service references. I updated a nuget package on both sides and tried to update the service reference and got this error.

Deleting didn't help. Unchecking "reuse assemblies" is not desired as I need to reuse them - that's the whole point.

In the end, there were two separate issues:

1) The first issue, I believe, was a visual studio caching issue. I meticulously went over all of the references and found no issues but it still reported being unable to find the previous version of the file. I uninstalled all of the nuget packages, restarted visual studio, and reinstalled them. Updating the service reference worked.

2) The second issue was caused by a dependency issue. I updated the nuget package on both sides and everything appeared correct, but an unmarked dependency was out of sync. Example:

Package Foo v1 references Bar v1. It is possible to update Foo and Bar to v2 independently without updating the reference. If you install both Foo and Bar v2 the service reference tool will scan Foo v2, see the reference to Bar v1, and fail because it can't find the older version. This is only reported correctly if you update the version numbers of your dll for every package. Visual Studio and MSBuild will have no problem building the application but the service reference will have a terrible time trying to resolve everything.

I hope this helps someone.

I got the warning after upgrading my solution from Visual Studio (VS) 2010 to 2013 and changing each project's .NET Framework from 4 to 4.5.1. I closed VS and re-opened and the warnings went away.
