Third party WCF Web Service files (if your dev machine doesn't have access to the url of the web service) - getting WSDL - SVCUtil.exe

Run SVCUtil.exe from Visual Studio command prompt, with the url of the third party web service from a computer where you have access to the third party web service.


It will generate a .CS and .CONFIG file. The .CS file has all the method, parameter and return value information. The .CONFIG file has all the end point details.

Add the .CS file to the client project and add the details from the .CONFIG to the client config file.

Now you can access the third party web service (if your dev machine doesn't have access to the url of the web service). This is just a tip.
