Epicor web services to WCF

Answering my own question...
Without having to do any conversions, you can install the WSE 3.0 add-in, modify the config file for VS2010, modify the add-in config file for WSE 3.0 and you're off to the races.

Giving credit where credit is due, Diganta Kumar blogged about this solution.

Web Service Enhancements 3 (WSE 3) is not officially supported for Visual Studio 2008/2010. The reason is that Microsoft wants you migrate your code to WCF. Use this work around to enable Web Services Enhancements (WSE) 3.0 in VS2008/2010.

1. Download <http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=018a09fd-3a74-43c5-8ec1-8d789091255d&displaylang=en> and install Web Services Enhancements (WSE) 3.0 for Microsoft .NET. (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=018a09fd-3a74-43c5-8ec1-8d789091255d&displaylang=en)
2. Go to the folder "%ALLUSERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\Addins" (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\Addins).
3. Backup WSESettingsVS3.AddIn
4. You'll find two sections. Note that the version is 8.0. Copy and paste these two sections and change the version of the new sections to 9.0 (if using Visual Studio 2008) or 10.0 (if using Visual Studio 2010)
5. Save the file.
6. Go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE (if using Visual Studio 2008) or C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE (if using Visual Studio 2010) and open the devenv.exe.config file. Add the following snippet just above the closing tag inside the file. This helps Visual Studio to generate web service proxy classes using WSE.

<system.web>
<webServices>
<soapExtensionImporterTypes>
<add type="Microsoft.Web.Services3.Description.WseExtensionImporter, Microsoft.Web.Services3, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
</soapExtensionImporterTypes>
</webServices>
</system.web>

7. Close all the instances of Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2010 and start the application again.

Subject: [Vantage] Epicor web services to WCF




Has anyone done a web service using WCF?
Have web services working using WSE 3.0, but am having a heck of a time trying to figure out WCF.
I've run the SvcUtil against the WSE 3.0 service but that's about it. Not sure where to go from there.
Didn't know if someone had some specific directions or even an example that could be shared.
