I have an old WSDL file and I want to create a server based on this WSDL file.
The WSDL is generated from a ASMX (I suppose but I am not sure).
How can I achieve this ?
original question where the OP thought he needed to create a client based on the WSDL.
Using svcutil, you can create interfaces and classes (data contracts) from the WSDL.
This will create a file called “your.cs” in C# (or “your.vb” in VB.NET) which contains all the necessary items.
Now, you need to create a class “MyService” which will implement the service interface (IServiceInterface) – or the several service interfaces – and this is your server instance.
Now a class by itself doesn’t really help yet – you’ll need to host the service somewhere. You need to either create your own ServiceHost instance which hosts the service, configure endpoints and so forth – or you can host your service inside IIS.
