Calling a WebReference operation name the same as the Web service name

in wsdl below, web service "calcservice" , contains operation called "calcservice". when adding webreference wsdl, proxy generated (calcservice class) contains "callcalcservice" method "calcservice" operation - persumeably because method "calcservice" mistaken constructor. calling "callcalcservice" method tries invoke "callcalcservice" operation on web service, doesn't exist. calling other methods on proxy work fine.

looking @ code reflector, method passes "calcservice" method name to soaphttpclientprotocol.invoke(), name translated in soapclienttype.getmethod() via a logical table of method names. table (methods) appears be set via reflection , maps thie "calcservice" name "callcalcservice".

mark, correct: previous versions of web services framework had problem.  surprised see behavior whidbey beta2: problem fixed on 2004/11/06, , should in beta2 drop.

(vswhidbey # 401918 add online web service, contains same name in service , web method, can not established successfully.)

in case when method name matches containing proxy class use "call" prefix method name.  in example method should called "callcalcservice".  please check version comment see using recent version of framework.  the fix made in 50215.44 drop.
