Add Web Reference option Missing in VS 2008 [Solved]

In MS Visual Studio 2008 , there is no direct "Add Web reference" option in the solution explorer.

In this 2008 version , it is replaced by "Add Service reference" in the right click menu.

Steps to add Web Reference in VS 2008 :


1. On the Solution Explorer , right click on References folder.

2. Choose Add Service References

3. The interface might look different but the functionality is same as "Add Web Reference" option in VS2005.

Done.
