When trying to update service reference I get following error -
I read guide-line at many places that we should checkin only Reference.cs. But I have checked in other ServiceReference files, (like wsdl, xsd etc) as well.
Can this be a cause of UpdateService Reference to failure?
Sounds like you are targeting the wrong framework in your project or you need to completely delete the service reference and re-add it instead of trying to update.

I need to be able to perform all of the available functions that the Package Manager Console performs for code first DB migrations. Does anyone know how I could accomplish these commands strictly through user defined code? I am trying to automate this whole migration process and my team has hit the dreaded issue of getting the migrations out of sync due to the number of developers on this project. I want to write a project that the developer can interact with that will create and if need be rescaffold their migrations for them automatically.
PM is invoking through PowerShell and PS cmdlets (like for active directory etc.)

The Package Manager Console is a PowerShell console within Visual
Studio
...there is essentially very little info about this - I've tried that before on couple occasions and it gets down to doing some 'dirty work' if you really need it (not really sure, it might not be that difficult - providing you have some PS experience)
Here are similar questions / answers - working out the PS comdlets is pretty involving - in this case it has some additional steps involved. And PS tends to get very version dependent - so you need to check this for the specific EF/CF you're using.

Possible to add migration using EF DbMigrator
And you may want to look at the source code for EF that does Add-Migration
(correction: this is the link to official repository - thanks to #Brice for that)
http://entityframework.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/f986cb32d0a3#src/EntityFramework.PowerShell/Migrations/AddMigrationCommand.cs
http://entityframework.codeplex.com/SourceControl/BrowseLatest
(PM errors also suggest the origins of the code doing the Add-Migrations to be the 'System.Data.Entity.Migrations.Design.ToolingFacade')
If you need 'just' an Update - you could try using the DbMigrator.Update (this guy gave it a try http://joshmouch.wordpress.com/2012/04/22/entity-framework-code-first-migrations-executing-migrations-using-code-not-powershell-commands/) - but I'm not sure how relevant is that to you, I doubt it.
The scaffolding is the real problem (Add-Migration) which to my knowledge isn't accessible from C# directly via EF/CF framework.
Note: - based on the code in (http://entityframework.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/f986cb32d0a3#src/EntityFramework.PowerShell/Migrations/AddMigrationCommand.cs) - and as the EF guru mentioned himself - that part of the code is calling into the System.Data.Entity.Migrations.Design library - which does most of the stuff. If it's possible to reference that one and actually repeat what AddMigrationCommand is doing - then there might not be a need for PowerShell at all. But I'm suspecting it's not that straight-forward, with possible 'internal' calls invisible to outside callers etc.
At least as of this post, you can directly access the System.Data.Entity.Migrations.Design.MigrationScaffolder class and directly call the Scaffold() methods on it, which will return you an object that contains the contents of the "regular" .cs file, the "Designer.cs" file and the .resx file.
What you do with those files is up to you!
Personally, I'm attempting to turn this into a tool that will be able to create EF6 migrations on a new ASPNET5/DNX project, which is not supported by the powershell commands.
The problem is that when i try to update the service reference i get the following error.
The checkout was cancelled by the user.(0x80004004)
I can't seem to do anything that will solve it since if i do try to do something then i have problem with pending changes.
When you Update Service References, changes are made to files in ProjectDirectory/Service References/Your Service Namespace.
These files aren't shown in the solution explorer, but they should be in source control so other team members don't have to manually update references.
Try checking out these files and updating again.
I have a local website which I run through Visual Studio 2008's internal development web server (through the run / compile button).
I have an external library which is referenced on a page of that website and resides inside the web site's "bin" folder.
I've recently changed a class' property name inside that library (renaming it, from "ValidFrom" to "VisibleFrom"), recompiled its dll and have overwritten the original dll inside the bin folder.
This class is mapped with FluentNHibernate, I've also changed the mappings and recompiled / redeployed the library.
When I try to run the site and navigate to the page where the library is used, I'm getting a MethodNotFound exception for the method get_ValidFrom, related to FluentNHibernate's configuration call. This should be get_VisibleFrom now!
Now I've reconfigured my NHibernate SessionProvider so that it generates a new Configuration for NHibernate on each call, and does not retrieve it from the Http Session entity like it did before, because I figured there might lie the problem.
I'm still getting the exception however. I've then deleted the Temporary ASP.NET folder's content... but I'm still getting the error.
Where is the generated schema for NHibernate stored, when using FluentNHibernate?
Anyone knows where else this could somehow be cached?
Thanks
FNH does not cache the schema, it is generated on-the-fly when you make a call to Fluently.Configure() and the schema is passed directly into an NHibernate Configuration object which is used to build an ISessionFactory.
Try clearing out all compiled objects/libraries/executables, removing the reference to your library from all projects that use it, add it back in, and then re-compile everything. Also check your all your code for "magic strings" that may be referencing this property or causing it to be referenced by the old name.
If that doesn't work, it might be helpful to see a stack trace to get an idea of what is being called from where.
I've just started developing silverlight applications. I've created a webserivce in my asp.net project. Now, when I try to connect to it through my silverlight project I receive the following error:
"the opreation is not supported for a relative uri"
I am using the following url -->
http://192.168.1.2/MyWebsite/SubVersionedHistory.svc
I can find the class and its methods, but I receive this horrific error when I add it.
Thank you for your help and advice,

I don't think you're alone in hitting this problem. I hit it today with VS2008SP1 + SL2 trying to create a Service Reference for an ADO.NET Data Service. First time I've hit the error.
Others have detailed similar experiences to reach this error:
http://silverlight.net/forums/t/87535.aspx
http://silverlight.net/forums/t/56629.aspx
It's not entirely clear at this point if the issue is with the IDE "Add Service Reference" dialog or something specific in the services causing this error. In my case, however, my code still worked despite the error message. I simply passed the URL to my service in the constructor of my DataService proxy client, like this:
var context = new DataServiceContext(new Uri("NorthwindDataService.svc", UriKind.Relative));
Summary point: Just because you hit this error in the IDE, your service reference may still work. Give it a try and let us know if you're seeing errors at run time.
Hope that helps.
[UPDATE] Based on some other advice I've found and tested, you can also try:
deleting your Service Reference
deleting your ServiceReferences.ClientConfig file
saving your solution
and then closing and reopening it in VS.
The simple act of closing and reopening your project has been shown to fix several problems with the Add Service wizard. Re-run the Add Service Ref wizard and you may have better luck. I personally tested this solution on a project today and can confirm it works. Hope that adds extra help to finding your solution.
You should be more specific about your problem. For example, are you having this problem when adding the reference or when you actually try to consume the service?
It sounds like you need to be using a full path, including the "http://" but that is just a shot in the dark based on the error message you provide.
[edit]If you are using the built in ASP.NET server instead of IIS then be sure you set a specific port number and use it in your path. For example, I have used http://localhost:4940/MyService.svc for testing[/edit]
Maybe this response can help you
You cannot use AbsolutePath, You need to use AbsoluteURL. Build your URL this way:
Uri url = new Uri(App.Current.Host.Source, "../settings.xml");client.DownloadStringAsync(url);

Check the ServiceReferences.ClientConfig
if there are multiple endpoints there you will get this exception. one thing that can cause this is referencing a service using casini, later switiching to IIS express and rereferencing the service.
What method do you use to get a compile time error when the database schema changes occur in an ASP.NET project?
For example, if you have a GridView bound to a DataSource, I can only get runtime errors when a schema change occurs, not a compile time error. Intellisense works fine on the code behind using datasets, LINQ, etc, but I cant seem to get a compile time error on an ASP.NET page when I change the schema.
Any advice?
Create a unit test that verifies the correctness of you data access layer, and make sure it covers all your DB-related code. Not everything can be caught at compile time...
One way I can think of easily achieving this behavior would be to databind to a dynamic DAL. There are some tools that can help do this DAL generation, I'd recommend taking a look at SubSonic.
Once you have something like SubSonic in place you can bind to the resulting business objects. These business objects will automatically change in the case of a schema change in the database and this will break your binding code which will result in a compile time error.
Update
Assaf's recommendation to use Unit Tests is also a good idea. It doesn't solve your stated problem but it is definitely something that should be in place and is a great tool for flagging these type of problems.
We use a modest system (xml to c++) to create schemas from an independent description, this system also creates names for tables and columns that we use inside the code, when there is a change in the schema the names change, as the names we originally used are not there anymore and the compiler will flag an error.
You could probably configure a lot of the DAO generation tools to do something similar.
One solution would be to version your database and map an application build to a specific version (maybe in a properties file). In the entry point of your app, you can compare the expected version to the actual version and handle the error accordingly.
I'm not sure whats the equivalent in ASP.net of Migrations in Rails or dbdeploy in Java for versioning your database. But any DB versioning tool that makes schema changes incremental and versioned and tracks the version in a Version table will suit the purpose.
But if you want a compile time error while building your app, you might as well upgrade your schema to the latest version as part of your build process, avoiding the possibility of schema changes in the first place.
