Generating files...
Warning: No code was generated.
If you were trying to generate a client, this could be because the metadata documents did not contain any valid contracts or services
or because all contracts/services were discovered to exist in /reference assemblies. Verify that you passed all the metadata documents to the tool.

Warning: If you would like to generate data contracts from schemas make sure to use the /dataContractOnly option.

Everything was working fine till I add a enum member in data contract.

Other problem could be, not passing all XSDs to svcutil. Our problem was we were using

svcutil.exe service.wsdl

instead of

svcutil.exe service.wsdl first.xsd second.xsd ......

FYI, we were integrating java web services to our wcf service/.net client.
