Connect to a web service

[Olle]

Hi,
I am new to InfoPath and am trying to set up a form based on a web service.
Unfortunately all I get is an error message,

"InfoPath cannot find or cannot access the specified Web service description"
and
"WSDLServicerocessing service Svc found no port definitions
HRESULT=0x80070057: The parameter is incorrect.
- WSDLReader:Analyzing the WSDL file failed HRESULT=0x80070057: The
parameter is incorrect."

The service runs in an internal network and I am able to connect to the
service with svcutil.exe as well as open it with a browser. What is the error?

Thankful for response.

Hi, are you adding your web service to your form as a data connection
or as a web reference?

Designing a new Form template, choosing web service with the text "Create a
form template that queries and submits data to a Web service".

I guess that is data connection?

May the problem be that InfoPath can only connect to .asmx web services and
not to WCF .svc services?

That could be the case. Have you tried adding the web service as a
web reference? This is only possible though by creating a VS 2005
solution from your form schema and then in the solution explorer in VS
add a web reference.
Otherwise I am sorry but I don't know if InfoPath accepts only .asmx
web services when you add it as a data connection.

Problem solved. The solution was to change the binding in the service from
wsHttpBinding to basicBinding.

Oll, I have a similar problem using InfoPath to connect to a web service. Where in InfoPath do you change the binding. This is not obvious to me.

Thanks for any help you can lend.
