Key Features

Dotnet-svcutil can generate code for service contracts, clients and data types from metadata documents. These metadata documents can be on a durable storage, or be retrieved online. Online retrieval follows the WS-Metadata Exchange protocol.

You can use dotnet-svcutil tool to generate service and data contracts based on a predefined WSDL document. Use the --serviceContract switch and specify a URL or file location where the WSDL document can be downloaded or found. This generates the service and data contracts defined in the WSDL document that can then be used to implement a complaint service.
