Creating a Web Service Client Proxy

Microsoft Visual Studio includes a wizard that generates a Web Service client proxy that you can use to call Web Service methods. The wizard is launched via Project > Add Web Reference.
  1. Type the URL of your Web Service into the top text box, for example, http://demo.borland.com/BorlandSampleService/BorlandSampleService.asmx?WSDL, and click Enter. The Add Web Reference button is enabled when the wizard loads the WSDL document from the specified URL.
  2. Click Add Web Reference. The wizard generates a proxy class in a namespace that is the reverse of the name of the Web server that hosts the service (for example, demo.host.com becomes com.host.demo).
  3. Explore objects to see which classes have been generated. Each Web Service, and all complex data types used by the Web Service methods, are represented as classes. In the generated proxy code, the proxy class takes its name from the Web Service. The namespace of the class is the reverse of the name of the Web server that hosts the service. All files that are generated by the Add Web Reference wizard are displayed on the Solution Explorer tab.
    Note: The Show All Files option must be activated to display all generated files.
