Generate WebService producer from WSDL in Visual Studio 2005

Question

I have a WSDL file defining the interface for a web service and I want to implement that service (ie producer/server code) using C#, ASP.Net and Visual Studio 2005. Setting up a Web Reference as consumer of a web service is a breeze, but as a producer isn't as obvious.

In the java world there is wsdltojava. Is there something similar to this?

Answer 1

Yes there is. And wait for it, it is called wsdl.exe !

The file lives in the Microsoft Windows SDK bin directory (for older version of .NET, the .NET SDK may be in another location).
