Is it possible to not generate service part of wsdl contract in WCF?

Question

I've written a WCF service and wonder if it somehow possible to not get the service part:

<wsdl:service name="MyService">
<wsdl:port name="BasicHttpBinding_MyService" binding="tns:BasicHttpBinding_MyService">
  <soap:address location="http://localhost:8000/MyService/Service" />
</wsdl:port>

generetad either directly in the wsdl or when svcutil pulls it down.

Or maybe it's easier to write a powershell script that just removes the service element?

Answer 1

implement IWsdlExportExtension. Inside it remove the parts you do not want:

Answer 2

It is not possible to prevent the built-in metadata from emitting the service portion of the WSDL.

Your options are to create a new metadata behavior, or even simpler, to turn off the metadata and simply provide a handcrafted WSDL via a well known Url.
