Message Text	Port types that have a combination of one-way and request-response operations are not allowed. Correct service description "{0}" port type "{1}" and rerun the wizard

Explanation

This error indicates the service trying to be consumed has operations that are both one-way and two-way (or request-response).

User Action

Correct the service with the appropriate operations (either one-way or request-response but not both) and try to consume (if you own the WCF services that you are trying to consume). Otherwise, contact the service provider.
