**Scenario:**

I am using Silverlight 3.0 as client for a web service.

**Design:**

The server has a class named **DeviceInfoService** which has the basic functionality of getting the list of devices, getting the properties of devices etc.

When I open an ASP.NET project and try to add a web reference, I can find an option to add a "Web Reference". After I add the web reference this way, I am able to access the DeviceInfoService class by creating it's object and then accessing it's methods.

**Web Reference v/s Service Reference:**

Coming to Silverlight: when I try to add a service reference, there is no option to add a web reference. Going with Service Reference, everything works fine till WSDL file is downloaded. People say that I can get this option by going back to .NET 2.0, but probably Silverlight won't work in .NET 2.0

**The Problem**

Now when I try to access the class DeviceInfoService , I am not able to find it. All I get is Interfaces -- DeviceInfoServiceSoap and DeviceInfoServiceSoapChannel. Classes named DeviceInfoServiceSoapClient.

The methods GetHostedDevices and GetDeviceInfo are no longer available. All I get is GetDeviceInfoRequest, GetDeviceInfoRequestBody, GetDeviceInfoResponse and GetDeviceInfoResponseBody.

I googled a lot how to use these four classes, only to find nothing. I want to get those 2 classes directly like in ASP.NET and not using those Request Response type.
