You may need to consume
Web services from client applications.
Visual Studio provides tools for generating proxy classes, which in this case, however, may be ineffective.
A common workaround implies the
command prompt tool
wsdl.exe included within the
NET Framework 2.0 SDK.
This tool accepts the path to a
WSDL file and generates the proxy class automatically.
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\wsdl.exe"_
"C:\ServiceTest.wsdl" /n:MyNameSpace.MyServices /o:"C:\ServiceTest.cs" /l:CS
In this example we are specifying:
- The path of the WSDL
- "/n" - the target namespace of the proxy class
- "/o" - the path of output files
- "/l" - the target language

If you plan to generate more files related to classes in the same namespace, is useful to remember that some objects are implicitly declared many times, these duplicates must be removed manually.
