Newbie: Creating a Web Service Client

[Anders Eriksson]

Hello,

This is my first attempt to write a Web Service Client.
I received a .xsd file from the Web Service provider, and he thinks that
from this file I should be able to create my client.

I then run WSDL.EXE with this xsd file
WSDL ".\Laser Marker WS -2007_11_30.xsd" /l:cpp

and got this error message:

Writing file 'C:\Documents and Settings\ame\My Documents\Visual Studio
2005\Proj ects\SCMLaser2.0\webservice\output.h'.

Output.h contains this code:

#pragma once

#using <mscorlib.dll>
#using <System.dll>
#using <System.Xml.dll>
#using <System.Web.Services.dll>
#using <System.EnterpriseServices.dll>

using namespace System::Security:ermissions;
[assembly:SecurityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction::RequestMinimum,
SkipVerification=false)];
//
// This source code was auto-generated by wsdl, Version=2.0.50727.42.
//

using namespace System;


I don't get what the problem is?
Do I need to have access to the web service? (it's on a Intranet which I'm
not on)

You need a wsdl file, not an xsd file.

You need a wsdl file, not an xsd file.

Isn't there someway of using an xsd file instead?

Why don't you look at the contents of the wsdl file and the xsd file and see if they look anything alike?

xsd is a schema file. wsdl is a particular brand of xsd file that has a specific format, as described in: http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl

It could very well be that your xsd happens to be a wsdl file.
