Question about web service consumption

1.00/5 (1 vote)

I have written a web service using c#(Framework 3.5) and tested it to be working fine.
While writing the web application to consume the SERVICE, I have faced a dilemma between "adding as service reference" and adding as "web reference(in advanced tab)".
Both ways of adding is working but I just want to know which method is better and why.

Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Adding a web reference is for asmx web service ( old way of doing things ) while adding a service reference is for WCF which is more flexible compared to asmx web service.
