Answer 1

You can do plenty with that WSDL (wissd'le) file.

From doing the WS Class manually to use the Auto Generated class from wsdl.exe

let's imagine that, for your example, you have this WDSL (tooked from WebServiceX.Net)

---

to create a C# auto generated proxy you go to your command prompt and write:

wsdl /language:cs /protocol:soap /out:C:\myProxyScripts http://www.webservicex.net/TranslateService.asmx?wsdl

Note: inside your C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Bin folder you will find wsdl.exe or just do a dir /s inside your C:\Program Files\

if you want in Visual Basic, just use /language:vb or /l:vb

/language: The language to use for the generated proxy class. Choose from 'CS', 'VB', 'JS', 'VJS', 'CPP' or provide a fully-qualified name for a class implementing System.CodeDom.Compiler.CodeDomProvider.

The default language is 'CS' (CSharp). Short form is '/l:'.

This command will put inside your C:\myProxyScripts the auto generated proxy.

if your using the WSDL file in your computer, just change the URL to your full path, for example

wsdl /language:cs /protocol:soap /out:C:\myProxyScripts C:\myProxyScripts\myWsdlFile.wsdl

Note: your Generated proxy will be called the Service Name, the one you have specified, in our example, as:

I hope this helps you, understand the WSDL, the Auto Generated Proxies and that you can manage now everything in your end to fulfill your client wishes.
