    Basic question about C# Web Services

    I have developed a small class and generated a proxy class for it
    using the wsdl.exe utility. I dont understand how an actual wsdl file
    ties into this. It appears that I can create a c# webservice and
    operate without a wsdl file, but that doesnt realy make sense to me.
    Does the SoapHttpClientP rotocol class hide the wsdl xml file?

    Any help Appreciated!

      Hi

      WSDL describes the external public interfaces of your web services (facade).
      To refer the service it fairly enough to use just the file, without having
      an access to the service itself.

      Regards, Alex

          When you create a .NET webservice and set a Webreference to it from a client
          application, it uses the webservice - generated WSDL contract to create a
          client proxy class to make webmethod calls to the service.
          The WSDL utility does the same thing, it just has some additional utility
          switches.

              the server side developer writes the web service and deploy it

              ASP.NET generates the WSDL from the web service

              the wsdl utility generated a stub from the WSDL

              the client side developer write client code that calls
              the stub

                  DomoChan,

                  From the first version of Visual Studio 2K+ there is a WebService project
                  template.

                  As you use that a webservice is created which contains all your WSDL and
                  SOAP wrappers for you.
                  (It shows up as a kind of Hello World application it it, what you just have
                  to tailor to your needs)

                  Cor
