I have some web services that I need to reference in a Windows 8

  • 0

I have some web services that I need to reference in a Windows 8 Metro style application, normally you can just add a reference to the service via VS2012, but the services are behind a security layer.

I have downloaded the .WSDL file to my local PC, and now I need to generate the class file for this service.

The WSDL.exe that I have found on my local PC is for .NET 4.0 and produces code that is not suitable for the .NETCore framework. Is there a WSDL.exe equivalent for Windows 8 apps?

Visual Studio 2012 can obviously add a reference to non-secure asmx WSDL web services, so the functionality must be somewhere.

    I found out how to do this if anyone is interested.

    You simply download the XML WSDL file from the site via a normal browser.

    Then in VS2012, you can add a service reference to that file directly (i.e. put in the full path to the file c:\tmp\mywsdl.xml) and it will be able to generate the proxy for you.
