从WSDL Web服务C＃提取方法和输入参数

Question

I wonder if there any way to extract the methods and the related input parameters from a WSDL web service in c#. Specifically i need a way to provide the endpoint URL of a web-service and get as a result the above information. Something like the "Add Service Reference" in VS. But what i want is to get those information by implementing a module and not by using any other tool. Does .NET provide any functions for that? I'm using .NET 4.5.

Thank you

Answer 1

You have 2 good options that come with .NET and you need to access both from VS command prompt.

1. wsdl.exe -> this does exactly what you are looking for.
2. wcftestclient.exe -> this helps you test any webservice even before you add it to your project.

EDIT 1: I think I misread your question. Well you can always use the generated class file by WSDL.exe in your application.
