I am trying to add a web reference in a BT project and it is failing.
However, I can add a web reference to the same web service in an asp.net
application.  And I can add other web services to the same BT project.

Trying it from a BT project usually gives one of the following 2 error
messages:

Could not generate Biztalk files.
Biztalk_Server_Project.com...... cannot be serialized because it does not
have a default public constructor.

OR

Failed to create web reference.


Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I ran into the same problem. It turned out, that i was running into the
known limitations bts 2004 has when consuming web services.

I do not have the documentation at hand but searching the documentation for

web service limitations

will most certainly give you the knwon limitations.

I allready consumed different web servcies and i got almost ever
different error messages and in every case it turned out, that it was a
limitation.

Try consuming a very simple web service. If it works, the WS you try to
consume exposes data structures, which are not yet supported.

This is the most common on. However it seems you are lacking the last
roll up package. AFAIK the error messages get more clear afterwards.
