Hi,

I got from a friend just a WSDL file, how ever I do not have access to the
Web Service itself. I'd like program an app which needs to use this WS. What
steps need I to take?

Thanks for any hint
Greg

If using VS2005 (best option), use svcutil.exe:

> svcutil.exe /?

(...)
svcutil *.wsdl *.xsd /language:C#
- Generate client code from local metadata documents.

Hi Tiago,

> svcutil *.wsdl *.xsd /language:C#

Great. I was able to create a proxy class. When I use the Add Web Reference
menu in Visual Studio the result looks different. How do I create the same
result with my proxy class and WDSL file? Or in other words how do I create
a Web Reference just having the WSDL file and the proxy class?

Thanks for any advice

Greg

Use "Add Service Reference", available in VS 2008. Or use VS 2005 + "Visual
Studio 2005 extensions for .NET Framework 3.0 (WCF & WPF), November 2006
CTP" available in:
