Apparently a lot of people think so...

Run the .NET Framework SDK's WSDL.EXE against a WSDL file with the /server command line.

 

Simon Fell asks "what am I supposed to do with it?"

 

Alas, the feature is practically useless as it sits today. Here are two options (short of the obvious "edit the generated sources as text"):

 

1. Write some CodeDOM code to munge the intermediate result into something you actually can use. You can do this by invoking the WSDL generation code programmatically and/or by writing a WSDL importer extension and looking for the use of server-mode.
2. Combine #1 with the new C# partial classes feature that doesn't ship until whidbey.

 

I'll ping Yasser and Tim to see if we have something laying around the shop.

It may be less than ideal, but the way I used it was to create the .cs file. Add it to my project, derive my ASMX code-behind file from the new class and (the bad part) re-add the [WebMethod] attributes. Sure, it would be better if I didn't have to redo the attributes, but that is about all I had to do...

If Don finds any better tools that let us skip these extra steps, it would be nice, but honestly it wasn't that much work.
