You&nbsp;are still able to add old web reference to those projects.&nbsp; When you upgrade a 2.0 project to 3.x, if your project contains any old web reference, you will still be able to add extra old web reference.&nbsp; In that case, both "add web reference..." and "add service reference..." will be shown.</P> <P>So if you do need add old web reference to a project targetting 3.x framework, the workaround is that you can change the targetFramework to 2.0, add one web reference and change back the target framework.</P> <P mce_keep="true">BTW, in Orcas beta 2, you will be able to add Web Reference to 3.x projects.</P> <P mce_keep="true">&nbsp;</P><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2262379" width="1" height="1">WCFWeb Reference
