how to generate web service out of wsdl

Question

Client provided me the wsdl to generate the web service.But when I used the wsdl.exe command it generated the .cs class out of it. I consumed that class in my web service and when I provided the wsdl to client it didn't match their schema. Actually I want the .asmx to be automatically generated from the wsdl so that I could fill in the web method. So that it will exactly match their schema. Hope it make sense.

There isn't a magic bullet solution for what you're looking for, unfortunately. Here's what you can do:

• create an Interface class using this command in the Visual Studio Command Prompt window:

  wsdl.exe yourFile.wsdl /l:CS /serverInterface
  Use VB or CS for your language of choice. This will create a new .cs or .vb file.

• Create a new .NET Web Service project. Import Existing File into your project - the file that was created in the step above.

• In your .asmx.cs file in Code-View, modify your class as such:

 

 public class MyWebService : System.Web.Services.WebService, IMyWsdlInterface
 {    
     [WebMethod]
     public string GetSomeString()
     {
         //you'll have to write your own business logic 
         return "Hello SOAP World";
     }
 }
