Winform designer error when referencing a web reference

[Manoj Kumar]

Hi,

We are evaluating the syncfusion product for one of our Winforms Client Application. When we reference a web service and try to open the designer it is displaying the following error. We are not able to view the designer please let us know how to resolve this ASAP.

Error:

An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line 2, position 52. 1

Hi Manoj,

Thank you for evaluating Syncfusion products.

An error occurred while parsing EntityName.

This error can be resolved by removing '&' symbol in the mapname. The below MSDN forum discussed this issue.

Hi Manoj,

Thanks for the update. Please check whether element in your webservice XML class has '&' symbol. Please make sure whether you have this problem only with Syncfusion components since I was not able to reproduce this error at my end.

Please let me know if any concerns.

Jaya
