OGC's Web Map Service in .NET Application

D

dotNET learner

I am trying to use OGC Web Map Service (WMS) and Web Feature Service (WFS)
from the following lists:

http://www.geoconnections.org/CGDI.cfm/fuseaction/webServices.type/gcs.cfm


When I try to Add a Web Referrence in an ASP.NET application using Visual
Web Developer Express, it is not recognising the serive URL. For example,
the following as Web Reference:

http://www.bsc-eoc.org/cgi-bin/bsc_ows.asp?version=1.1.1&service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities

Perhaps this is because this Web Service is not a WSDL interface.

What can I do? Is there any example of consuming OGC WMS/WFS in a .NET
application?

Thanks,
.......

You are correct, WDSL interface is not included in OGC WMS or WFS.
Search for something like [ OGC WMS WFS "WSDL interface" ] and you'll see
some useful information.
Also, many of the standard GIS products have cobbled together code (.NET and
'other') which does what's required, if you want more than a browser view of
Google Earth (etc).
