The following example uses CustomFieldWS as the name of a web reference to the Custom Fields web service (https://ServerName/ProjectServerName/_vti_bin/psi/CustomFields.asmx). The btnCustomField_Click event handler is for a button on a Windows form application, such as LoginDemo in the Project SDK download.
