    Web Service/Reference Design

    I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and have got a project with the following:

    Web Service (on a server):
    1 web method that returns an xml list of files stored on the server. It references Component A to return that list.

    Win Forms App (laptop):
    Has a local file list that I want to compare to the server list. The win app references Component A to read the local file list and call the web service to read the server list and compare them.

    Component A:
    Reads an xml list from the local file system and has a web reference to the above Web Service to get the server list.

    So what I'm doing to sync'ing a local xml list of files. My question is this, is there any problem with that design? It works very well, however, other people are telling me theyve had reference problems with Component A in Visual Studio.

    I havent had any and dont think there should be any, as the web reference in Component A is only a url so shouldnt make it a circular reference problem.

    Any comments design wise would help.
    Thanks
