    Hi,

    I need to add contact enquiries from a website in a clients CRM system.

    I have a wsdl file that i need to incorporate into my VS project somehow.

    Do i need to make a web service and add the wsdl file to it ?

    Will this enable me to communicate with the web service on the other end ?

    Sorry, i'm totally lost on this one !

    Thanks for any tips.

    Ah, found a solution, turns out it's easy.

    Just add a web reference ,point to the wsdl file and everything is automatically created.

    Off the top of my head; use the "Add web reference" tool in VS (it's in the Project menu or the context menu where the regular binary references are), point it towards the web service (ie, to the WSDL) and it'll generate proxy classes and references so you can access the web service's interface programatically.

    Edit; yeah, that's it :)

    Hello Mate,

    If you add the wsdl to your project you'll be able to make use of the methods exposed by the clients web service. You should have a URL for the location of the wsdl e.g. http://testuri.com/someservice.asmx?wsdl

    Im assuming your building an application in VS, so in your IDE goto Project\Add Web reference, bang in the address of the wsdl in the URL box and Bob's your uncle.

    Let me know if you have any problems.

    Regards
    Ross
