I would like to provide another department compiled assemblies that gather information from existing Web Services and provide them with a limited subset of the data retrieved. The issue I am experiencing, is that the web service reference is available as a public member of the assembly (which defeats the purpose of sending only a subset of the data if they can access the entire webservice directly). I tried changing the class modifiers in the Reference.cs to internal, and the consuming application errors out with the web reference being inaccessible due to it's protection level. Does anyone know if there is an easy way to have the web reference available to the assembly only, and not the consumer of the assembly ?
