I've added a service reference to my mvc4 web project and left it with the default namespace "ServiceReference1", but when I wanna use that namespace, visual studio can't find it, like it doesn't exist, the webservice is up and working fine. What exactly am I doing wrong?

I found the solution HERE which as Hoakie mentioned below instructions worked for me and my reference.cs is generated properly now:

1) Right click on Service Reference

2) Select Configure Service Reference

3) Uncheck "Reuse types in referenced assemblies"

and Voila!
