Friend WCF Web Service Reference

Is it possible to make a WCF reference in a Silverlight DLL private? The option is greyed out and when you edit the Reference.vb file manaully, when running, it complains about not being able to serialize because it is not public.

I don't want the service to be exposed outside of the DLL. Is thi开发者_JS百科s possible?

Even though it is generated, you can hack that file up as much as you like, within reason.

What you need to do is declare your generated proxy as internal. You can either do that manually, or you can use the /internal (short form is /i) flag when using svcutil to generate your proxy. (Note that VS doesn't use svcutil when you add a service reference).
