My apologies first of all for cross posting.  In my ignorance I posted
this in the .net remoting group before checking on the existence of this
group.

I have to write an application that will interact with a Web service
exposed by a partner organisation.  Unfortunately the Web service will
not be available until late summer: too late for us to develop a client.

Ideally, therefore, I'd like to develop a client from the wsdl, which is
available.  For your information, I've posted to wsdl files on my
personal Web site:

http://www.peredur.uklinux.net/slcxsd/HEICourseDBWebService.wsdl
http://www.peredur.uklinux.net/slcxsd/HEICourseDatabaseMessages.wsdl

As you will see, the first file imports the second.

In order to get something to work with, I have tried to construct an
interface for the Web service using the wsdl.exe utility:

C:\XmlProjects\SlcDatabaase>wsdl.exe /serverinterface
heicoursedbwebservice.wsdl

This fails with the following message:

Microsoft (R) Web Services Description Language Utility
[Microsoft (R) .NET Framework, Version 2.0.50727.42]

Error: Cannot find definition for
http://www.slc.co.uk/course/messages/1.0:CourseDatabaseServicePortType.
 Service Description with namespace

Parameter name: name

Can anyone see where I'm going wrong?

Many thanks
