Can I use WSE3 in a .NET 4 application to communicate with an old web service?

Question

I have a .NET 3.5 library assembly that uses WSE 3.0 to communicate with an external web service. We are updating our system to .NET 4, but the external web service will remain unchanged. (Edit: not sure if this matters, but the external web service is implemented in Java)

To make the migration process as fast as possible, I do not want to change our system code, unless absolutely necessary. Will the WSE3 library work as soon as I upgrade to .NET 4?

I saw a couple of questions indicating that we should no longer use WSE to create web services (see links below). However, I use it solely as a client to communicate with an external web service, so I am confused as to whether it will work.

Answer 1

I had the same situation last week, and the answer was not (or at least not easy and in no way can be found after 6 hours of work on the Internet). Part of the problem is that there is no way to enable WSE from Visual Studio in VS 2010 (or VS 2008, for that matter).
