The only issue I ran into was that there is no option for a service reference when you left like on references in an XNA project. But by adding a windows library it worked fine for me, like I said above

I'll have to see how I did this, but I had absolutely no issues integrating a web reference with a standard Windows XNA 2.0 game project. I wish I had more details but it was almost a year ago that I did it. But you definitely don't need to do all those crazy steps to get it working. I'll see if I still have the project around for me to take a look.

Its not supported on xbox, so my guess would be for consistency

EDIT:

By the way I just checked, you can add a class library to the solution, and add a service referance to that. Isnt that a simpler way, or have I missed the point?

Web Reference and XNA (howto)

Hi everyone,

after hours and hours and hours I understand how to add web reference to XNA Project (I will hope if this howto can help anybody).

In my solution explorer I have 3 project:

1) XNA project

2) ASP .NET project

3) Windows Forms project

Follow these steps:

- Develop and Build your XNA project;

- Delete all files in Windows Forms project,

- Copy all classes from XNA project to Windows Form project;

- Copy Content (with xnb!!!!!) from XNA project to debug/deployment Windows Forms project directory (bin/debug...);

- In proprieties of Windows Forms project set CPU to x86;

- Build Windows Forms project and;

- Add web reference to Windows Forms project;

- Develop your XNA Client.

This works!!!!!

But I have one question:

Why XNA team does not add support for web reference? It is so hard?

Bye bye
