How to use a WSDL

Viewed 262959

I need to consume a Web Service. They sent me the WSDL file. What should I do to add it to my website and start using it as the proxy. ( If I put it on a Virtual Directory it can be discovered, but does it grant me the connection with the real web service?)

If you want to add wsdl reference in .Net Core project, there is no "Add web reference" option.

To add the wsdl reference go to Solution Explorer, right-click on the References project item and then click on the Add Connected Service option.

Then click 'Microsoft WCF Web Service Reference':

Enter the file path into URI text box and import the WSDL:

It will generate a simple, very basic WCF client and you to use it something like this:

YourServiceClient client = new YourServiceClient();
client.DoSomething();
