Hi MR,
Thanks for your followup.
I'm afraid that would be very unprofessional if they don't provide a valid
and complete WSDL for their published webservice. The WSDL is the
fundamental service contract of the webservice, just like the IDL/type
library for COM.
#Understanding WSDL
http://msdn.microsoft.com/webservice...basics/default
..aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnwebsrv/html/understandwsdl. asp
who are the service hoster, your own internal department, your partner or
..? Anyway, I strongly recommend that you contact with them on this since
WSDL is really necessary. If there're anything else we can help , please
feel free to post here.
Thanks,
Steven Cheng
