title: Service reference vs Web reference
body: <p>I'm consuming webservices developed by a third party and I noticed some differences in its behaviour depending on how I add them to the VS project: <code>Add Service Reference</code> or <code>Add Web Reference</code>.</p>
  
  <p>From what I've researched, a service added by <code>Add Service Reference</code> is more recent and suited for WCF services. Since I don't know what kind of services are the ones I'm trying to interact with, is there a way I can know which is the better way to add them?</p>
  
  <p>I get a little better behaviour when I add them by <code>Add Web Reference</code> and so I'm tempted to use it for every service but I really don't know.</p>
  
  <p>Note: I've checked <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2158106/web-reference-vs-service-reference">this post</a> too.</p>
