creating a Web Service from a WSDL file

[BillB]

Hi,
I've got a WSDL file that I need to use to create a Web Service from, I have
managed to create the client side of the app using the generated .cs file
that WSDL.exe creates.
Does anyone know how I can create this Web Service from the the WSDL file?

Any help or info is appreciated.
Thanks

using the same tool (wsdl.exe) you can create a service interface (/serverInterface).
If you then create a new webservice project and import the generated cs file
into that project you can set the inheritace of the webservice class to:

public class MyServiceName : WebService, IMyGeneratedServiceInterface
{

}

if you're working in VS2005, you can then hit ctrl-. with your cursor on
the IMyGeneratedServiceInterface and visual studio will present you an option
to generate empty methods for the interface.

Use the wsdl.exe command line tool with the /serverInterface option to
generate the server code from WSDL. For more info see

You might also be interested in the WSCF tool from thinktecture,
available at

Basically does the same thing as command line wsdl.exe, but with a GUI.
