Had an annoying bug writing a WCF service. If the service was hosted on the same server as the IIS6 ASPX site that consumed it I got the following error:
Parser Error
Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.
Parser Error Message: Reference.svcmap: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.
Parameter name: siteSource Error:
[No relevant source lines]
Source File: /App_WebReferences/MyServiceReference
Really no help whatsoever. There are two solutions, firstly you could generate a proxy for the service like
- svcutil MyService.dll
- svcutil *.wsdl *.xsd /language:C# /namespace:*, MyService
- Move the generated CS to the App_Code folder
- Remove the Web_References folder entirely
Secondly update your .net framework from 3.5 to 3.5 SP1! This bug has been cleared up in SP1 and totally avoids the problem.

I’ll admit, its of no use to me but I do like it when bloggers post problems and their solutions. I try and do it myself on the odd occasion I’ve found a fix for something not well documented on the net.
I’ve no doubt someone using Google will find this useful sooner or later.
You have inspired me to update my profile with a picture, damn you! When I get around to integrating Google Reader properly I’ll be sure to follow your blog more closely (rather than a quarterly catch up I currently do)
