Error adding web reference to project

Question

I need to add web reference to ASP.NET project, but unfortunately I got error:

There was an error downloading 'http://isapi.somehost.com/soapclient/soapclient.php?URL=http://isapi.mekashron.com/SmartHD/MekashronTV.dll%2Fwsdl%2FISmartHD/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/$metadata'.
The request failed with the error message:
--
object(SoapFault)#3 (9) {
  ["message":protected]=>
  strin

Is there any ways to fix it?

Can you post the exact exception you got to help you further. But couple of initial thoughts.

ASP.NEt is not able to get the WSDL to generate a proxy class. You ight need to check permissions.
If it is WCF service try to add service reference.

Thanks

Hi, in fact that's complete exception message, nothing else I got. – andrey.shedko Jan 06 '15 at 05:13
When I'm trying to add this as service reference (not web reference) - I got 404 error. – andrey.shedko Jan 06 '15 at 05:15
in that case, the uri is not correct. try to browse the url in the browser and see whether you are able to access the service. – Saravanan Jan 06 '15 at 05:16
Yes, it can be reached from browser – andrey.shedko Jan 06 '15 at 05:20
