Why is Add Service Reference not generating the same code in UWP?

Question

I am trying to call FedEx's rate service. On their sample app, their reference.cs implements RateService():

amespace RateWebServiceClient.RateServiceWebReference {
using System;
using System.Web.Services;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Web.Services.Protocols;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using System.ComponentModel;


/// <remarks/>
[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("System.Web.Services", "4.6.1038.0")]
[System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()]
[System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategoryAttribute("code")]
[System.Web.Services.WebServiceBindingAttribute(Name="RateServiceSoapBinding", Namespace="http://fedex.com/ws/rate/v22")]
public partial class RateService : System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol {

    private System.Threading.SendOrPostCallback getRatesOperationCompleted;

    private bool useDefaultCredentialsSetExplicitly;

    /// <remarks/>
    public RateService() {
        this.Url = "https://wsbeta.fedex.com:443/web-services/rate";
        if ((this.IsLocalFileSystemWebService(this.Url) == true)) {
            this.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
            this.useDefaultCredentialsSetExplicitly = false;
        }
        else {
            this.useDefaultCredentialsSetExplicitly = true;
        }
    }

When I generate it on my project, I get completely different code. I noticed I never saw the old fashion web services option.

How do I use this newfangled code? Why the change?

How do I use this newfangled code?

You could create an instance for the service client (proxy), and invoke the service with it. For example (ToDoService is the namespace you defined for this service client):

ToDoService.RatePortTypeClient client = new ToDoService.RatePortTypeClient();

More details about how to you may reference this thread.

Why the change?

The Reference.cs is proxy that auto generated by tools. The sample client app you are downloading is a ConsoleApplication which is target .Net framework 2.0, but your app is a UWP app. They are different applications and target different frameworks. Even you can find the Reference.cs file was auto-generated by Microsoft.VSDesigner in the sample app, but was auto-generated by Microsoft.VisualStudio.ServiceReference.Platforms in your UWP app.

Why is Add Service Reference not generating the same code in UWP?
