Error updating service reference
I was able to work around this similarly to Can by temporarily removing the extensions
element of the system.serviceModel
section and any associated extension elements. In my case the extensions were Azure Service Bus extensions.
I've had the same issue after updating to VS2013 Update 2.
I've solved the issue by temporarily cutting the whole system.serviceModel
section out of web.config
, pasting it somewhere else like Notepad. Then, I've saved the web.config
without the service model section. Then, I was able to update the service reference successfully. After updating the service reference, I've pasted the service model section back to web.config and it worked successfully.
