We would need to see the WSDL to work out what the problem is. At first glance it would seem that the .NET Framework does not like the WSDL. You could try Microsoft's Wsdl.exe and see if it throws the same error. If it fails to generate the client proxy then the WSDL would need to be modified.

I've already checked the WSDL. I tried to import it manually by submitting it to Microsoft's wsdl.exe (.NET 2.0) and the proxy generation succeded without any errors or warnings.

The detail of the error I've submitted shows that the problem is in the CodeDom namespace. It seems that this namespace raises an error that #Develop can't handle. ("Initialization failure. Please review input options and documents for validity. ---> System.ArgumentException: The type name:"Tests.10.139.8.27" on the property:"Name" of type:"System.CodeDom.CodeNamespace" is not a valid language-independent type name.").

I think it occurs because of the "Tests.10.139.8.27" string I submitted to #Develop "new WebReference" form, in the text-box "Reference name" or in the "Namespace" one.

Added a bug report.

I think the only thing we can do is validate the namespace and show a more user friendly error message.
