Hi,

You have probably created a Service Reference instead of **Web Reference**

The service reference is the latest interface for adding references to all manner of WCF services (they may not be web services) whereas Web reference is specifically concerned with **ASMX** web references.

## How to Add a Web Reference in Visual Studio:

1- In the Solution Explorer Right Click on **References -\> Add Service Reference…**

2- The _Add Service Reference_ popup will open. Click on **Advanced…**

3- Then click on **Add Web Reference…**

4- Add the URL of the **ProcessesRuntime.asmx** file in the URL bar. You will be asked for the credentials to access the file then you should be all set.

Let me know if this helps,
