Web Service question

[Gary Miller]

This is only my 2nd time consuming a webservice and it has been 2 years
since my last experience. When adding a web reference to the WSDL isn't
there a way to generate the source for the WSDL? I cannot remember how I
did this so that the web service source is generated and Visual Studio isn't
simply referencing the WSDL.

I could of swore that is what I did the first time around.

Thanks

Gary

The .NET framework SDK has a command line tool wsdl.exe that you can use
to generate a proxy class for your web service:

Do you mean wsdl.exe? wse3wsdl.exe? svcutil.exe? One of those?

Oops; I meant wsewsdl3.exe (which supports MTOM etc):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa529578.aspx
Alternatively: scvutil.exe: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa347733.aspx
or as Martin already posted, wsdl.exe: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7h3ystb6.aspx

Thanks Martin
That is exactly what I was looking for. It has been too long since I last
had to consume a web service.

That is what VS does behind the scene for add ref I believe.

And it is a stub/proxy, which is not the same as the source.
