There are times when a team has to generate a Web service proxy, and then compile the proxy along with the application. So will WSDL commands be supported.

The last N&N was Feb 20, a month and 1/2 ago. I'm too busy being productive adding business value to our product to blog much considering I am still close to a intra-state move and dealing with the sale of one house and purchase of another. Meanwhile,

Try using the latest nightly build. I also had this error and I'm using visual Studio 2008. The nightly build worked fine.

I'm having a problem with XmlRead.  If result is a list, it is a semi-colon separated property, as advertised.  However, I can't convert this into an item list.  E.g.:  XmlRead result is "a;b;c", and I assign it to $(XmlReadResult), and I can Message the $(XmlReadResult) just fine.  I then use CreateItem Include="$(XmlReadResult)" ....  The resulting item list has just one element:  "a;b;c".  If I instead CreateItem Include="a;b;c" I get a list of 3 items as expected.  

I'd suggest a fix if I had any idea on why this is happening.  Can anyone else reproduce this?
