How to access web service on port other than 80 in vs2008/2010

Question

Hi all,

I tried searching the net, also tried some workarounds I found (like manually executing wsdl.exe) but still I can't access a remote web service running on a port different than 80 (say 1234).

When from Visual Studio 2008 OR 2010 I add a web reference using a url like http://192.168.1.2:1234/WebServices/Test.asmx, the service is found but when I press Continue, VS is unable to create the proxy classes and gives me an error saying that http://192.168.1.2/WebServices/Test.asmx (notice the missing port) was unable to return anything. Is there something I can do apart from creating the web service localy, creating the proxy classes and then manually changing the url?

Thanks in advance!

You're supposed to set the Url property on the web service proxy class.
